The City of Lebanon, Tennessee requires a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of certain permits it issues. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — with a short online application.
















A municipal permit bond like this is about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no lengthy underwriting file.
Fixed-price municipal 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 your Lebanon permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Lebanon conditions certain permits on a $10,000 surety bond filed with the City. The bond stands behind the permit holder's compliance with the conditions attached to the permit and the City's applicable code requirements for the work performed.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lebanon (the obligee), with property owners and the City itself as parties the bond can protect. If a permit holder fails to perform covered obligations, a harmed party can make a claim against the bond up to its $10,000 face amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond generally needs to stay active for the life of the permit, so confirm renewal timing directly with Lebanon's Building Inspections department when you file.
These are the actual issuing fields for this bond — short, and built for a same-sitting application.
