Hartville, OH — Contractor Bond

Hartville's contractor and subcontractor registration packet calls for a $10,000 surety bond to the Village. Each subcontractor needs a registration application; being listed by the general contractor does not complete that step.

What this bond does

Support the applicant's own registration with the Village of Hartville Building Department for the applicable work.

Who needs it
Contractors and subcontractors covered by Hartville's published registration packet. The included ordinance separately exempts work personally performed by owners on their primary residential dwellings.
Who it protects
The Village's bond form requires faithful performance of the duties and compliance with the laws and ordinances applicable to the identified license or permit. It is not the separate liability policy or a blanket completion/payment bond for every job.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this 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.

Check the registration year and bond dates

The packet describes calendar-year registrations ending December 31. The bond form also prints a December 31 expiration but contains continuing and cancellation language. Have the Village and surety confirm how the actual bond dates and continuation apply to your registration rather than assuming automatic renewal or cancellation.

For application, have the contractor company, registration type, project location and any subcontractor details ready. The packet requires liability evidence separately and identifies the Village as certificate holder. It calls for a State license where applicable; purchasing the bond does not provide that credential.

Purchase Now opens RLI in a new tab. Match the Village recipient, principal, license/permit description, $10,000 request and agreed dates. After issuance, check the principal and surety execution and witness spaces, then submit the bond with the registration materials under the Village's instructions. The tax-registration portion of the packet is a separate process, not proof that the contractor registration has been approved.

Questions about this bond

Does the general contractor's subcontractor list register me?

No. The packet says each subcontractor must complete a contractor registration form.

Does the calendar-year registration establish automatic bond renewal?

No. The bond has both printed expiry and continuing/cancellation wording. Confirm the bond's treatment with the Village and surety for your actual registration.

Does a homeowner doing their own work need contractor registration?

The ordinance included in the packet exempts work personally performed by property owners on or to their primary residential dwellings. That is not a general exemption for contractors hired by the owner.
