The City of Lumberton requires every mechanical (HVAC) contractor to file a $5,000 surety bond before it will register and license them to work in city limits. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















City contractor bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no credit information collected.
Small fixed-amount city bonds like this issue right after purchase, most of the time. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Lumberton to activate your mechanical contractor license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Lumberton conditions mechanical (HVAC) contractor registration on a $5,000 surety bond filed before a contractor may activate a license and work in city limits. The bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee: it backs your obligation to follow the city's mechanical and building codes on the work you do here.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lumberton (the obligee), with the city and the public as the protected parties. If a mechanical contractor violates city codes or licensing rules and the city or a resident is harmed, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the filing so your $5,000 bond stays continuous for as long as your Lumberton registration is active.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information.
