Middletown, Ohio Contractor Bonds
The City of Middletown in Ohio requires certain contractor classifications to be licensed or hold a permit with the appropriate City department; a surety bond may be required to maintain active permit, license, or registration status.
- Cement contractors must be registered with the Engineering Division and need a $10,000 Cement Contractor Bond.
- Plumbers and underground utility contractors can acquire their license from the Building and Inspections Division, and a $10,000 Plumber and/or Underground Utilities Contractor Bond is required.
- A Certificate of Registration Bond is for owners of facilities in the public right-of-way. These contractors must hold a $20,000 Performance Bond.

If you are applying for a cement contractor, plumber, or underground utility contractor license, the necessary forms can be found on the City’s “Permits and Licenses” webpage.
According to the Middletown City Ordinances, Chapters 1428 and 1430, plumbers and underground utility contractors must be licensed and bonded with the Building and Inspections Division. The purpose of this is to ensure that the contractor is qualified to do the job and that they will abide by all rules and regulations of their license. If a license transgression is committed by the licensee, the surety bond will act as a financial guarantee for the harmed party to cover any damages caused.
As for cement contractors, they must comply with all regulations set forth by the Middletown City Ordinances, Title 2 as it pertains to the obligations of their license. If the contractor commits a violation and refuses to resolve the matter, the Cement Contractor Bond will act as restitution for losses incurred by the city themselves or a person of the public.
The City of Middletown requires contractors to have an active bond on file in order to maintain their license. Jet will send you a renewal invoice for your surety bond prior to your bond term expiration date. All we need from you is standard payment to renew and your bond will be all set with the City for another term.
