The City of Gallatin requires a $50,000 bond of general contractors as a condition of licensing — ours is $1,500 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount. The application is five minutes, and contractor bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















Contractor bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Contractor bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Gallatin when you register as a general contractor. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$50,000 bond × 3% = $1,500, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A general contractor bond is a compliance guarantee. The City of Gallatin wants assurance that its licensed general contractors will follow the city's building codes and permit conditions and won't leave damage to public property behind.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Gallatin (the obligee). If your work violates city code or damages public property, the City — or a harmed party — can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active while you hold the contractor license. Let it lapse and your authority to work in the city can be pulled — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $50,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
