What this bond does

First establish whether Development Services is requesting a separate surety instrument for your activity, rather than treating a records submission as City license issuance.

Who needs it
Contractors reconciling an Oskaloosa document request with this existing catalog option.
Who it protects
A credential-and-insurance records checklist does not establish a surety bond's covered obligation, recipient or sum. Obtain the accepted bond request before relying on this option; insurance evidence and a bond are different documents.

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.

Identify what Development Services actually needs

The City's records checklist asks for an insurance certificate, State of Iowa contractor credential number and expiration date. It permits submission online or in person to Development Services in the lower level of City Hall.

The City's contractor list is updated quarterly, is not all-inclusive and is not an endorsement or guarantee of work quality. Appearance on that list does not establish that a City license bond has been purchased or approved.

Confirm the surety request before applying

Ask Development Services to identify any separate bond obligation, its exact form, named recipient, sum, dates and filing instructions for your activity. The current records page does not resolve those details for this catalog choice.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. If a separate surety request is confirmed, match that written request with the provider before completing an application. After issuance, check execution and deliver the instrument as instructed. Provider payment does not complete the City's records submission or issue a license.

Sources

Have these ready

  3. Confirm the exact applicant, recipient, sum, dates and filing method before applying.
