The City of Independence contractor bond is a surety bond which is issued as in “instant issue” bond. What this means is that there is no underwriting or credit check involved in this bond’s purchase.
After completing the application, which we'll take from you over the phone, and paying the $250 premium, this bond is issued immediately for your filing with the city. The premium may be prorated depending on when during the year your bond is purchased; however, the expiration date will always be December 31st.
Since only an original copy of the bond is acceptable, after its purchase, the bond will be mailed to you the following business day.
A bond purchased very late in the calendar year may expire on the December 31st of the following year, but in all cases, December 31st is the expiration date regardless of when the bond is purchased.
Upon receipt of your bond and Power of Attorney in the mail, you'll file it to the following address:
City of Independence
6335 Selig Drive
Independence, OH 44131
