Del City Contractor License Bond
What it is & who requires it
Contractors licensed by Del City. This is one of the few remaining general contractor license bonds in the Oklahoma City metro, and it is worth knowing why it survives where others do not: the state Construction Industries Board licenses and bonds electrical, mechanical and plumbing contractors and its bond expressly stands in lieu of any municipal one, so a city that wants to bond builders has to do it outside those three trades. Del City also bonds fence contractors and safe room contractors separately at the same sum, so a firm doing more than one of those files more than one bond.
Obligee: City of Del City (Building Official). Citation: Del City Code of Ordinances ch. 5 (Buildings and Building Regulations) — contractor license article, bond required of every applicant; license and renewal provisions.

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the contractor’s license and filed with the Building Official.
Renewal: Annual, with the license.
Filing
Filed with the Building Official as a good and sufficient corporate surety bond in favor of the city. The ordinance names the instrument and states the sum flatly, with no cash or deposit alternative offered, which is what carries the figure. Note the ten-day rule in the same article: the code bars carrying on business beyond a short grace period without compliance, so the bond is a precondition to trading rather than a filing that can follow the first job.
