What this bond does
Match the City's written bonding request for the residential permit application before choosing an instrument.
- Who needs it
- Residential builders and contractors checking the City of Madison, Mississippi request, not a Madison County or another State's requirement.
- Who it protects
- The permit page establishes a bonding instruction but does not reproduce its conditions. Obtain the accepted instrument to determine what it secures; the page alone does not establish that a generic project performance/payment form is interchangeable.

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.
