Questions about this bond
Is every construction bond simply $5,000?
No. For the schedule's marked categories it is 5% of construction cost or $5,000, whichever is greater. Confirm the category and assigned amount; other work has its own requirements.
Does a bond on file authorize construction?
No. The Commission must approve the actual work and issue the permit. Security filing, plans and work permission are separate steps.
Does the guarantee year start when I buy?
The general work form uses Commission acceptance for its one-calendar-year construction/restoration guarantee. The option displays no fixed term; confirm the executed instrument's dates and release.
