Del City Safe Room Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Safe room and storm shelter contractors licensed by Del City. This is a distinctively Oklahoma credential and it is easy to miss on a national listing, because most states have no such trade: the city licenses safe room contractors in their own right, on a competence finding by the Building Official, and bonds them at the same sum as its general and fence contractors. A builder installing shelters as a sideline still needs the separate license and the separate bond.
Obligee: City of Del City (Building Official). Citation: Del City Code of Ordinances ch. 5 (Buildings and Building Regulations) — safe room contractor license; bond required before issuance or renewal, known as the safe room contractor’s bond.

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the safe room contractor’s license; required before issuance and again before renewal.
Renewal: Annual, with the license.
Filing
Deposited with the Building Official before issuance or renewal, as a surety bond in a stated sum, named in the code as the safe room contractor’s bond. No cash or deposit alternative appears. Because storm shelter work is not one of the trades the Construction Industries Board licenses, the state bond does not reach it and the city requirement stands on its own.
