What this bond does
The single undertaking covers the principal's construction and repair work in the City during the stated period instead of separate security for each case. Its conditions address City compliance, indemnity, covered owner/tenant claims and restoration of disturbed public ways.
- Who needs it
- The legal building contractor or carpenter applying for the City license. New applicants must supply the experience/qualification form. The application records City licensing, Maryland MHIC and homebuilder registration separately; one entry does not substitute for all applicable credentials.
- Who it protects
- The Mayor and Council are the named obligee. The complete form includes settling specified claims of owners, tenants and lessees, but expressly gives the City priority: other parties have no interest under the instrument until the City is fully paid or reimbursed. Do not promise unrestricted immediate private recovery.

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 every purchase automatically a full two-year bond?
The current packet has an actual beginning-date blank and a fixed December 31, 2027 end date. Confirm the accepted starting period rather than treating the odd-year cycle as two years from any purchase date.
Does termination immediately release work already started?
The form requires written notice received by the Building Inspector and a 30-day period. It preserves liabilities arising or later arising from covered work begun before that period ends.
