In New Philadelphia, various licensees and permittees are required to file a License and Permit Bond as part of their registration, including tree trimmers, sewer contractors, stormwater management contractors, house movers, and plumbers to name a few.
The cost of your New Philadelphia License or Permit Bond depends largely on the bond limit you need. Jet’s rates start at $100 but may increase and even require a soft credit check. For bond limits over $50,000, an application must be submitted for review. See the chart below for examples of available rates at different limits.
