What this bond does
The City form expressly secures license and permit obligations and performance of oral or written service contracts. It also requires compliance with applicable law and protection of the City against claims and losses arising from the licensed activity.
- Who needs it
- The contractor using the applicable City licensing route and actual skill category in PAULIE. For the residential work described in its guidance, the City directs two-or-more-special-skill work to State residential contractor or remodeler licensing, and roofing to the State roofer license; this City bond does not replace those credentials.
- Who it protects
- The form binds the principal and surety to Saint Paul and expressly makes persons contracting with the principal obligees to the extent protected by Legislative Code 326.07(b). Its performance language and City protection should be read with those conditions and the required $2,500 security, not as unlimited recovery.

Questions about this bond
Is this City form only a license bond?
It expressly calls itself a license, permit and performance bond, addresses oral and written service-contract obligations and protects contracting persons to the extent stated in Legislative Code 326.07(b). Use that required form rather than assuming generic license-only terms.
Does the City bond replace State contractor or roofer licensing?
For the residential work described in its guidance, the City honors the Minnesota Residential Building Contractor License and directs two-or-more-special-skill work and roofing to the applicable State credentials. Confirm the actual route before buying; the City bond is not a substitute for a required State license.
