The City of Johnson City conditions a gas and mechanical contractor license on a fixed $10,000 bond filed with the City. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, identical for every contractor. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















City contractor license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Fixed-amount license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your gas/mechanical contractor license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Johnson City licenses gas and mechanical contractors and conditions that license on a fixed $10,000 surety bond filed with the City. The bond is a code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work to the city building and mechanical codes and your compliance with the licensing ordinance.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Johnson City (the obligee). If a contractor performs unsafe or non-conforming gas/mechanical work or violates the licensing ordinance, the City or a harmed party can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the license can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out. We issue the fixed $10,000 amount at $100, and the application collects no credit information.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information, because this bond does not need it.
