Questions about this bond
Must I use another city's mandatory bond form?
No. Arkansas City's packet says the insurance company's bond forms are acceptable. Match its $4,000 licensing request rather than importing another city's form rule.
Does the notarized no-employees waiver eliminate the bond?
No. It addresses workers' compensation evidence. The packet separately requires the surety bond.
Does purchase start a two-year City license?
The City specifies expiration on December 31 of even-numbered years, not two years from purchase. Check actual bond dates separately.
