The City of Midland requires small construction contractors to post a $5,000 bond to register and pull permits in the city. The price is our fixed $100 — set by our carrier for this bond, the same for every contractor. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Contractor registration bonds are simple. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit section.
Registration 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 the city for your contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Midland registers small construction contractors before they pull permits and conditions that registration on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your work meeting the city building code and the terms of the permits you pull.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Midland (the obligee). If a contractor violates the building 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. Contractors who build to code and close out their permits treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond does not have one.
