Avon Lake, OH — Contractor's License Bond
Avon Lake's contractor-registration path requests a $15,000 surety bond with power of attorney through its OpenGov process. Do not substitute the separate $5,000 landscaper request. Use the actual contractor form and calendar-year end date, then complete registration independently of the purchase.

What this bond does
Support the described contractor's City registration and licensed work under the Building Code.
- Who needs it
- Applicants using the City's contractor-registration path rather than its separate landscaper/tree-service registration.
- Who it protects
- The contractor form names Avon Lake and provides protection for parties contracting with the principal for work, tied to failure to perform according to the Building Code, lawful rules and inspector orders. This is not the contractor's separate liability insurance or an unlimited project-payment guarantee.
