What this bond does

Support the City's Combination registration security, distinct from project performance or payment bonds.

Who needs it
Contractors managing or performing the published combination scope, including residential, multifamily/commercial structures, pools/spas and specified paving.
Who it protects
The code requires City-Attorney-accepted security for the registration and names the City in its bond instruction. The accepted instrument supplies the actual conditions; classification does not replace State trade licenses, project permits or inspections.

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.

Match Combination, not Residential General

Section 4.04 includes structures from one/two-family to multifamily and commercial, associated structures, pools/hot tubs/spas, and driveway/sidewalk/curb/gutter work. Residential General is restricted to one/two-family dwellings and associated storage and excludes the listed pool/paving work. Do not buy its lower minimum for a combination request.

The code asks for the contractor to be listed as combination and uses “City of Longview” as certificate holder in its surety instruction. Match the exact accepted instrument and recipient wording rather than infer that an insurance certificate or a differently classified bond will suffice.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Prepare legal business, category, accepted form, minimum-required sum and dates before applying. After issuance, check execution and deliver it through the City's confirmed process. Register before permits/work; annual re-registration tied to credential/security expiration does not establish a fixed annual bond term.

Questions about this bond

Can I use the Residential General $25,000 minimum?

Not for a combination request. Published section 4.04 requires at least $50,000 and a combination designation.

Does combination waive separate State trade requirements?

No. Match all applicable State qualifications and City permits/inspections for the actual work.

Does annual registration automatically set a one-year bond?

No. Check the accepted instrument's actual dates separately.
