- Who it protects
- The City is the named obligee. The undertaking also expressly benefits persons suffering loss from the contractor's specified code or ordinance failures and allows those persons to sue the principal and surety on the bond.

Questions about this bond
Does the bond start automatically when I purchase it?
The City form identifies a one-year period from approval and filing and includes a Building Official approval entry. Confirm the accepted dates and filing rather than using checkout as proof of that approval.
Is the $15,000 available separately to every claimant?
The form caps total recoveries under it by all claimants at $15,000 and separately requires additional bond principal within 15 days after a recovery to maintain the security. Follow both provisions with the City and surety.
