Mississippi bonds

Byram, MS — Contractor's Bond

Byram's posted Contractor's Bond uses $5,000, names the City and has a blank for the licensed activity. Its published licensing ordinance requires Building Official approval of the bond; provider issuance alone does not make the City approval complete.

What this bond does

Secure the described contractor work under the City license and subsequent permits, including the stated compliance and City-indemnity duties.

Who needs it
Contractors identifying the general, plumbing, gas-fitting, electrical, mechanical or house-moving activity listed on the form.
Who it protects
The instrument addresses faithful work under the license/permits, City and State requirements, specified violation damages and City indemnity. Match that actual condition rather than describing it as insurance or a separate project owner's performance/payment guarantee.

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.

Use the actual activity and City acceptance

The form separates principal/home-office information, surety and licensed activity. The published ordinance requires the surety to be authorized in Mississippi and the Building Official to approve the bond before it becomes effective.

The ordinance describes yearly bonding and a separate October–September certificate cycle. Confirm the accepted bond dates with the City; neither cycle changes this provider option into a pre-labeled annual term. The limited owner-occupied self-work exception is not a hired-contractor waiver.

Read correction and cancellation provisions separately

The form gives five days' notice/opportunity to correct the described violation before demanding its specified liquidated damages. That is not a general claim deadline or automatic permission to keep working.

Cancellation calls for surety written notice delivered to the Building Department Director and retains fixed liability and the stated unfinished work under previously granted permits. Do not import another City's 30-day notice clause.

Purchase Now opens RLI in a new tab. Match the City form, business, activity, $5,000 and actual dates before applying. After issuance, check principal/surety execution, official title and seals, then obtain the City's approval and complete separate registration/permit steps.

Questions about this bond

Is the issued bond effective for the City without its approval?

The published ordinance requires Building Official approval before the bond becomes effective. Complete that separate City step.

Is the five-day correction provision a universal claim deadline?

No. It concerns notice and correction before the form's described liquidated-damages demand.

Does cancellation erase unfinished permit obligations?

No. The form retains fixed liability and the described work under permits granted before cancellation that has not been completed.
