The City of Midland requires landscape irrigators to post a $2,000 bond as a condition of their city license. The price is our fixed $100 — set by our carrier for this bond, the same for every irrigator. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit check.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application. No credit check.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the city for your landscape irrigator license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Midland licenses landscape irrigators and conditions the license on a $2,000 surety bond. Irrigation work ties into the public water supply, so the bond is a code-compliance and water-protection guarantee: it stands behind your installations meeting the city plumbing and irrigation code, including backflow protection.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Midland (the obligee). If an irrigator violates the code or city ordinances and the city or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Irrigators who install to code treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $2,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $2,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
