What this bond does

Supply the surety document in the City's complete contractor-license application packet.

Who needs it
Contractors matching the business and its actual Arkansas City license classification.
Who it protects
Use the accepted $4,000 licensing instrument for the City's request, separate from the insurance, qualifications and any State roofing registration. This is not automatically a particular project's performance/payment bond.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Submit the required documents together

The packet says applications will not be processed without all required documents submitted together. Prepare the application, accepted qualification evidence, insurance, surety, applicable workers' compensation evidence or waiver and State roofing documentation if roofing is included.

The application distinguishes company and ownership details, main contacts and personnel authorized to obtain permits. Use the actual license applicant and category rather than substituting an authorized permit user's name. The packet accepts the bonding forms used by the insurance company; confirm the recipient and licensing obligation still match the City's request.

Separate the license cycle from bond terms

Licenses expire December 31 of even-numbered years. That is not an automatic two-year bond option measured from your purchase date. Confirm the actual issued instrument and any continuation needed for the City's license period.

A no-employees workers' compensation waiver must be signed and notarized under the packet's instructions. That is not a waiver of the separately required surety and does not establish that every bond must be notarized.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Check the company, classification, City request, $4,000 and dates before applying. After issuance, verify execution and supply the surety with the complete packet to Neighborhood Services. Issuance alone does not grant the license or permit.

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.
