What this bond does
Match the actual City permit-related contractor security and activity, not a universal statewide license bond.
- Who needs it
- Contractors identifying one of the City's stated trade/activity groups and its applicable standard form.
- Who it protects
- The forms name City of Greensboro and address City charges, City indemnity and ordinance compliance, with additional goods/services/deposit wording. The generic option's accepted group/instrument remains unconfirmed; the forms are not proof of one unrestricted bond for every contractor or a full project 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
Is $2,000 required for every contractor activity?
No. The City separately posts $5,000 instructions for demolition, grading and house moving; confirm the actual instrument for this option.
Can a generic substitute form be assumed acceptable?
No. Both reviewed instruction sheets require their standard City form. Confirm the accepted current version and its inconsistent second-page wording.
Does RLI payment submit the bond to Development Services?
No. Check issuance and follow the City's current delivery instructions, separately from the permit process.
