Who needs it
This bond is intended for licensed gas and mechanical contractors seeking to obtain necessary permits for work within the municipal limits of Hendersonville, Tennessee.

The City of Hendersonville is the obligee. The form provides for the City's benefit and property owners' specified repair costs, but reserves the right of action to the named obligee; it is not a general workmanship warranty or liability policy.

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.

Bond Obligation and Scope

Contractors must register with the City of Hendersonville under the requirements of Section 20, Chapter 10 of the Municipal Code. The bond obligates the Principal to conform to all applicable building, gas, mechanical, plumbing, and health codes.

The liability of the Surety is capped at the specific bond amount and is not cumulative over time. Coverage remains effective for work initiated under permits issued before the bond's termination date, even if specific non-compliant acts are discovered later.

Regulatory Requirements

For gas and mechanical contractors, the City of Hendersonville specifies a bond amount of $50,000. Applicants must ensure that the name on the bond exactly matches their state contractor license to maintain compliance with city registration protocols.

The surety company providing the bond must be either a Tennessee domestic insurance company or a firm listed with the U.S. Treasury. Proper documentation, including a power of attorney and a corporate seal, must be submitted alongside the bond form to the Department of Codes Administration.

Maintenance and Termination

The bond is continuous in nature, providing ongoing coverage while the contractor remains active in the city. Should the Surety elect to cancel the bond, they must provide at least ten days of written notice to the Department of Codes Administration via certified mail.

Contractors are responsible for ensuring their bond remains active for the duration of their registration. Any lapse in coverage may impact the ability to pull necessary permits or perform regulated work within Hendersonville.
