Questions about this bond
Does a state plumbing license exempt a multi-trade company?
The current form limits the plumbing-company bond and insurance exception to companies not registering multiple trades. Identify all registered trades before relying on it.
Does the City require a calendar-year bond?
The published rule requires the bond to extend over the registration period, while the certificate expires on its issuance anniversary. Use the actual requested dates; this page does not supply a term selection.
Can I submit the issued bond electronically?
The current registration form accepts faxed or emailed bonds. Check the issued document first and follow the City's registration instructions; submitting the provider application is not municipal filing.
