What this bond does

Help complete Lansing's contractor-licensing paperwork before the Village issues the related permit.

Who needs it
Contractors listed on Lansing permit applications who need the surety document requested for their work.
Who it protects
The bond is the surety document in the Village's licensing process. The accepted bond form identifies its protected parties and obligations; separate liability and workers' compensation evidence does not establish that the bond has been filed.

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.

Resolve contractor paperwork before permit issuance

The Village says it will not issue permits unless every listed contractor is properly licensed and bonded. Its permit instructions call for the contractor's liability, workers' compensation and surety documentation, together with Village licensing, after plan approval and before permit issuance.

The applications page also asks for proof of state licensing where applicable. Use the checklist for your actual trade rather than assuming that a state credential settles every Village requirement. Have the Village's requested bond form, sum and dates available when applying.

Use the provider for the bond and OpenGov for registration

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Enter the legal business details and match the requested bond recipient, amount and dates. This page's existing choice does not display an amount or term, so the Village's actual request matters.

After issuance, check the document and follow the Village's delivery instructions. Lansing links its Contractors Application through OpenGov; that municipal application is separate from the provider application. Work may begin only after the required permit has been issued.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Identify the trade and contractor business named on the permit application.
  2. Have the Village's actual bond request, including form, recipient, sum and dates.
  3. Keep required trade-license and insurance documents separate from the surety application.
  4. After issuance, check the bond and complete the municipal licensing and permit steps.

Questions about this bond

Can a permit be issued while a listed contractor's bond paperwork is missing?

The Village says permits will not be issued unless all listed contractors are properly licensed and bonded. Arrange the contractor documents before expecting permit issuance.

Does applying through Propeller register my business with Lansing?

No. Propeller is the bond application step. Lansing uses its separate OpenGov Contractors Application for municipal licensing; follow the Village's instructions for submitting the issued bond.

Which bond amount should I request?

Use the Village's actual request for your trade, including its accepted form and required sum. The existing choice on this page does not display an amount or term, so it should not be treated as confirmation of either.
