What this bond does
Prepare the surety document called for in the City of New Castle business-license file when a bond, rather than an approved waiver, applies.
- Who needs it
- Contractors whose City of New Castle business-license or construction-permit instructions call for an acceptable city bond.
- Who it protects
- The accepted city bond form defines the secured licensing conditions. A County license document or a project-specific performance bond should not be substituted merely because it concerns the same contractor.

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
Is this the County's utility-contractor bond?
No. This page addresses a City of New Castle request. Match the city recipient and instructions rather than selecting a County Land Use form based on the shared place name.
Does one construction waiver cover later permits?
The posted city packet says each subsequent building permit requires an additional approved written waiver application or an acceptable bond. Check the city decision for the actual permit.
Which amount and period should I choose?
Use the city's accepted request and form. The option card does not publish an amount or term, and another New Castle authority's figures do not establish this city requirement.
