What this bond does
Prepare the surety component alongside the individual's actual City registration category and supporting evidence.
- Who needs it
- Applicants distinguishing building/general-category evidence from the listed electrical, heating and plumbing registration route.
- Who it protects
- The instruction sheet establishes a $25,000 bond request, not the full instrument's recipient wording, conditions or claim rights. Obtain the accepted instrument rather than borrowing a neighboring city's protection language or treating liability insurance as the 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.

Questions about this bond
Can reference letters name only the company?
The posted sheet says they must name the individual applicant because the City licenses that person.
Are three other-city registrations the only accepted work evidence?
For the listed general categories, the sheet also allows three letters from people who know the applicant's work.
Does every category use the same application and examination?
No. The sheet distinguishes application pages, credentials and review/exam steps by category.
