What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
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 $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
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.
How to file it
File with the City of Midland. 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.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
