What this bond does
Prepare Darien's License and Permit Bond for the actual business/subcontractor arrangement.
- Who needs it
- Darien registrants whose class requires surety, including other contractors not covered by a General Contractor's accepted arrangement.
- Who it protects
- The accepted form supplies its secured conditions. The City describes different business/subcontractor scopes; neither the amount nor the insurance certificate alone establishes which companies are included.

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 any $20,000 bond automatically cover my subcontractors?
Darien describes that scope as a General Contractor option. Match the accepted form and actual company arrangement rather than assuming a larger sum alone includes every firm.
Do State-licensed plumbers, roofers and fire-protection contractors need this attachment?
Darien's page gives those State-licensed classes an application-and-license route without a bond. Confirm the actual class before purchasing.
Does online registration remove the signed-original step?
The page announces OpenGov but still says to attach an original signed bond. Confirm current City handling after issuance rather than assuming an upload waives the instruction.
