The City of Green Bay requires a $2,000 bond from HVAC contractors as a condition of their City trade license. Ours is $275 flat — 3% of $2,000 is $60, so the $275 minimum applies. The application is five minutes, with no credit check.
















Municipal trade-license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials and no credit check section.
Small fixed-amount municipal bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Green Bay Building Inspection division for your HVAC trade license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$2,000 bond × 3% = $60, but our minimum is $275 — so this bond is $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Green Bay licenses HVAC contractors through its Building Inspection division and conditions that license on a $2,000 bond. The bond is a public-and-code-protection guarantee that your heating and cooling work follows City code and that you correct work that fails inspection.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Green Bay (the obligee). If your work violates City code or you fail to correct deficient work, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code treat the bond as a licensing formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
