The City of Kenosha requires a $10,000 bond to register as a sign contractor and pull sign permits in the city. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount — and the application takes about five minutes.
















Contractor registration bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the whole process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials and no credit check section on this bond.
Small fixed-amount contractor bonds like this 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 of Kenosha for your sign-contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A sign-contractor bond is a code-compliance guarantee. The City of Kenosha registers contractors who erect, install, alter, or repair signs, and the bond promises the City that you'll follow its sign code and safely complete or remove the work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kenosha (the obligee). If you install a sign that violates the code or leaves a hazard the City must correct, it can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active while you hold the registration. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your registration — so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
