What this bond does
This is security for the County Department of Land Use's permit-endorsed Decorative Appliance license file, not a City of New Castle business-license document.
- Who needs it
- Contractors applying in the County's Decorative Appliance category, which includes gas and/or solid-fuel appliances.
- Who it protects
- The County form backs compliance, correction of covered violations and specified County charges and protection. It does not replace the contractor's separate liability insurance or establish eligibility for a different trade.

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.

Questions about this bond
Does the title promise two years from my purchase date?
No. The County's posted 2026 form has a fixed January 1, 2027 expiration and cannot be continued past it. Match the accepted form and issued dates; the provider card itself does not publish a term.
Is this the City of New Castle's business-license bond?
No. This page addresses the County Department of Land Use's Decorative Appliance category. Match the County recipient and class instead of substituting a city business-license document.
Does the bond replace the NFI certificate or insurance?
No. The County checklist treats the license-holder credential, liability insurance and statutory compliance bond as separate parts of the application.
