Minneapolis, MN — Contractor License Bond
Identify the actual Minneapolis license classification before applying. The City's current residential specialty page calls for a $10,000 bond for its defined scope; that is not proof that every Minneapolis contractor needs the same license or instrument.

What this bond does
Match a specific City licensing request to the accepted bond rather than treating contractor work as one universal classification.
- Who needs it
- Contractors checking residential specialty work against their activities and any existing State residential building license.
- Who it protects
- The current residential specialty form benefits people for whom the principal performs that work and addresses specifications, materials, competent work, labor/material payment and contract performance. Those actual conditions should not be replaced with a blanket claim that license bonds never address performance or payment.

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 City's $10,000 specialty form apply to every contractor?
No. It belongs to a defined residential specialty classification. Confirm your actual City request and provider match first.
Does the current specialty form address workmanship or payment?
Yes. It expressly addresses specifications, materials, competent work, labor/material payment and contract performance for its described work. That does not make it interchangeable with every project's required security.
Is Hennepin County the obligee on that form?
No. The instrument names the City of Minneapolis; the County appears in its heading and acknowledgments.
