Shawnee Storm Cellar Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Storm cellar and shelter contractors licensed by Shawnee. This is another of the distinctively Oklahoma trades — several cities in the state license shelter installation in its own right, where most of the country does not — and Shawnee gives it its own article with its own bond and its own liability insurance requirement. As with the city’s demolition license, the amount lives in the fee schedule rather than the ordinance, so confirm it before buying.
Obligee: City of Shawnee (City Manager). Citation: Shawnee Code of Ordinances § 7-647 (Surety bond); § 7-646 (License required; fees); § 7-648 (Liability insurance); ch. 7 art. XIV — Storm Cellars.

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the storm cellar contractor’s license.
Renewal: Annual, with the license.
Filing
Filed with the city manager or designee with sureties the city manager approves. No figure renders because the code delegates the amount. Note that storm cellar work sits outside the three trades the state Construction Industries Board licenses, so the state bond does not displace this city requirement the way it displaces a municipal plumbing or mechanical bond.
