- Who needs it
- General contractors matching their Columbus City request to separate State licensing and project permit requirements.

- The City's FAQ describes funds for legal expenses and repair of building-code violations. That explanation is not liability insurance, an unconditional refund promise or a separate project's comprehensive performance/payment guarantee.

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.

Questions about this bond
Does the FAQ publish a fixed bond amount?
No. Obtain the current accepted request from the City inspection office rather than borrowing another jurisdiction's amount.
Is there one correction deadline for every bond-related violation?
The FAQ says the building inspector sets the correction deadline; it does not provide one universal number of days.
Does a State license finish the City's bond requirement?
No. The City describes a separate local contractor-license bond and building-code enforcement purpose.
