How much does a Grafton fireworks bond cost?
$100 at the $2,000 amount, the same for every applicant.
Three steps to your permit.
Your Grafton fireworks permit is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, the display information, and an effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit check.
Approved
Most are approved as soon as you apply. Any credit check that runs is a soft pull that never affects your score. If it needs a second look, one to two business days at most.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Grafton regulates the use and public display of fireworks, and conditions a fireworks permit on a surety bond. The bond is a public-safety and property guarantee: it stands behind your safe conduct of the display and your compliance with the Village's fireworks rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Grafton (the obligee), with the public as the protected parties. If the display causes property damage or injury through a violation of the permit, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. A clean, properly permitted display is what the bond expects, and what most operators deliver.

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 $2,000 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.

What sets the price
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.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
