What this bond does
Provide the City's single building-contractor/carpenter bond covering the described construction and repair work during the stated period instead of separate security for each case.
- Who needs it
- Building contractors and carpenters applying for a new or renewed City license, with the company, license holder and any separate contact identified.
- Who it protects
- The form runs to the Mayor and Council of Hagerstown. It addresses code compliance, City indemnity, street restoration and specified claims by owners, tenants or lessees. It gives the City's reimbursement priority; it is not simply a City-only condition or a separate payment bond for every contract.

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.
