Arnold, MO — Contractor License Bond
Arnold's current licensing portal lists a $5,000 license and permit bond for mechanical, electrical and plumbing contractor credentials. Its general-contractor checklist lists the application and insurance instead. Confirm the actual classification before treating this generically named bond as a requirement for every contractor.

What this bond does
Match the City's actual specialty-license bonding request without extending it to an unconfirmed general-contractor obligation.
- Who needs it
- Contractors checking whether their Arnold request concerns a general business credential or a separate specialty credential.
- Who it protects
- Obtain the accepted City instrument to determine its conditions. The portal's bond checklist does not make insurance the same document or establish that a project owner's performance/payment bond is an acceptable substitute.

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.

Questions about this bond
Does the portal list $5,000 for every contractor?
No. It lists that bond for mechanical, electrical and plumbing credentials, while its general-contractor checklist differs. Confirm the actual request.
Does that difference prove a general-contractor bond exemption?
No. It does not establish every possible obligation or the accepted scope of this generically named option.
Does Purchase Now submit an Arnold license application?
No. It opens Propeller. The City's MyGov credential and permit applications are separate.
