Questions about this bond
Does the form set one fixed $10,000 sum?
It says $10,000 or more for each listed ownership form. Obtain the actual accepted amount rather than guessing a higher figure or treating the provider card as a choice of limits.
Must I notarize a bond before starting the provider application?
The four-page Village document says the application must be notarized. That is not a statement that you must already possess or notarize an issued surety instrument before applying.
Does reapplying each year define the bond duration?
No. It is the Village's contractor-license application instruction. Use the actual accepted instrument's dates and continuation terms; the existing option displays no duration.
