Questions about this bond
Is one $10,000 bond enough for several registrations?
The application requires $10,000 for each trade registration except tree contractors. Confirm the accepted form and total for your actual registrations.
Does the tree exception waive contractor registration?
The application excepts tree contractors from its bond item; it does not say they are exempt from the registration application itself.
When does the two-year action period start?
The instrument says an action must start within two years after its date. The application separately says City registrations expire December 31.
