The City of Youngstown, Ohio requires contractors to be registered with the Engineering and Construction Department. To be eligible for an approved license, a Contractor Bond must be acquired by the applicant.
According to the City of Youngstown, your bond amount will depend on your license classification. A contractor looking to apply for a general license requires a $10,000 bond limit while sewer builders only need a $1,000 bond amount. Sign contractors require a custom bond amount that is determined by the City, based on the estimated cost of the project.
At Jet, Contractor Bonds with amounts up to a $10,000 limit can be purchased for the guaranteed price of $100 annually; multi-year payment options are also available. If you are seeking a higher bond amount, simply click the button above to begin our application. Once submitted, a Jet underwriter will get back to you with price options that meet your custom bond limit.

The Youngstown Engineering and Construction Department requires contractors who perform general construction, sewer, and/or sign work to acquire a Contractor Bond as a way to legally ensure that the contractor will follow all rules and regulations of their license. If a violation is committed such as a breach of contract or damages to public/private property, the surety bond will act as restitution for losses incurred by the harmed party.
If you need to renew your Contractor Bond, Jet has created a quick and easy process to make this happen. The Jet team will send you a renewal invoice prior to your bond term expiration date and all we need from you is standard payment. Once completed, your bond will remain active with the City’s Engineering and Construction Department for another term.
