About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

City of Kenosha — sign contractor registrationThe City of Kenosha requires this $10,000 surety bond as a condition of its sign-contractor registration; the bond amount and terms are set by the City and administered through its sign-permit / building inspection function. We do not cite a specific ordinance number unless the City publishes one.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Kenosha sign contractor bond?
The premium is $100, the same for every contractor, set by our carrier's rate book for this specific bond. The $10,000 is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?
No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?
Small fixed-amount contractor bonds like this issue right after purchase for most applicants — often the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check?
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount contractor bonds like this one don't need one.
Who is the bond filed with?
The obligee is the City of Kenosha. You file the executed bond with the City as part of your sign-contractor registration or renewal.
