The City of Groves requires a $15,000 bond to be licensed as a contractor in the City. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price — and the application collects no credit information.
















Contractor license bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no credit fields, no credit section.
Small fixed-amount bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of Groves contractor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Groves licenses contractors and conditions the license on a $15,000 surety bond. It is a public-protection guarantee that your work meets the City's building and permit requirements and that you restore any public property you affect.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Groves (the obligee). If your work violates City codes or damages public infrastructure, the City — or a harmed party — can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code and keep their license current treat the bond as a routine line on the City checklist.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond's application doesn't collect credit information.
