What this bond does

Use this offering for the contractor licensing obligation identified in your written city request. The city licensing page provides trade and permit context, but it does not establish one bond amount for every contractor.

Who needs it
Contractors with Bessemer licensing instructions that identify this bond. Check the trade named in the request rather than treating every construction activity alike.
Who it protects
The recipient and conditions in the accepted bond form determine the security provided. This is not automatically liability insurance or a performance guarantee for each customer's job.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Separate the business license from project permits

Bessemer says contractors need a current city business license before a permit is issued. Its page separately describes building, electrical, mechanical and plumbing applications.

A building project also requires plan submission and review. Keep the business-license paperwork and the project permit documents distinct when preparing your contractor file.

Identify the actual trade being licensed

The city's electrical instructions describe a city license and Master Electrician Card. Mechanical and plumbing work have their own permit applications.

Use the classification in your city's instructions. A homeowner day-labor permit is a different process, and the city says regulated trade work still requires licensed contractors.

Apply with the written bond request

The city page specifically mentions bonding for electrical contractors, but does not supply a general contractor bond form or amount. Do not transfer that trade requirement to every contractor. Use the written bond request for your own legal business, recipient, amount and dates.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Apply there, then check the issued document against the request and follow its delivery instructions. Purchasing the bond does not issue the city license or a permit.

Questions about this bond

Does the city page set a bond amount for every contractor?

No. It discusses trade-specific licensing and mentions electrical contractor bonding, but does not establish a single amount or form for this broader offering. Use your own written city request.

Does this purchase give me a building permit?

No. Bessemer requires separate city licensing and project permit approval, including plan review where applicable.

Should I use another trade's requirements?

No. Match the contractor classification and bond instructions for the work your business is licensed to perform.
