What this bond does
Supply the surety required for the applicable City Building Department contractor license.
- Who needs it
- General contractors and building trades matching the City's licensing requirements to their work.
- Who it protects
- This is licensing security, separate from liability insurance and workers' compensation. A City license bond does not automatically satisfy an owner's project performance/payment requirement or Engineering's street-restoration form.

Questions about this bond
Does this satisfy the Engineering Department's excavation request?
Do not assume so because both instruments may state $5,000. Engineering publishes its own Bond for Excavation in Streets with separate work and filing requirements.
Does every trade follow the general-contractor checklist?
No. The City publishes separate electrical, HVAC, plumbing, demolition and signage instructions. Match the written request for your activity.
Does buying the bond renew the City license?
No. Complete the applicable City renewal and document requirements separately; the City's December 31 license cycle is not an automatic provider term.
