Norman Sign Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Sign contractors licensed by Norman. The city runs a sign contractor permit alongside its sign permits, and the guarantee is a condition of the license rather than of an individual sign. What makes this one worth reading carefully is that the city does not insist on a bond at all: its own form lets the applicant satisfy the obligation with a cashier’s check delivered to the city, or with a certificate of deposit held in a named account payable to the city, or with a surety bond — three boxes on one page. A contractor who would rather post cash than buy a bond can, and a contractor who wants the bond should tick the box and name a surety licensed in Oklahoma.
Obligee: City of Norman. Citation: City of Norman Sign Contractor’s Bond (city-published form); City of Norman sign contractor license and sign permit requirements, Planning and Community Development — Development Services.

Term & renewal
Term: Runs for the license year, and the bond route may be continued afterwards by a validly executed continuation certificate.
Renewal: Annual, with the sign contractor license.
Filing
Filed with the sign contractor license application on the city’s own form. No figure is published on this record even though the form states one plainly, because the same form offers a cashier’s check and a certificate of deposit at the same level as the bond — where the obligee itself puts non-surety instruments beside the bond, the bond is one option rather than the requirement. If the bond route is taken it may be carried forward by continuation certificate rather than re-executed each year. Note that Norman’s municipal code is not currently published through the usual online route, so the city’s own forms and licensing pages are the reliable source here.
