The City of White Oak requires contractors to file a $15,000 license bond to register with the City and pull building permits. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit check.
















Municipal license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application. No credit check.
Small municipal license bonds like this issue right after purchase for most applicants.

A contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the City of White Oak. It backs your promise to follow the City's building code and permit conditions when you work inside city limits — and to repair damage to public property such as streets, sidewalks, and utilities.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of White Oak (the obligee). If you violate the building code or leave City property damaged, the City — or a harmed party — can recover against the bond up to $15,000.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull permits and finish clean treat the bond as a registration formality, and we track it so your filing stays continuous.
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 $15,000 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.
