Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Registration and Licensing Compliance

All contractors operating in North Royalton must register with the Building Division under Chapter 1444 of the Codified Ordinances. The registration process requires the submission of a completed application form, relevant fees, proof of insurance, and the $25,000 performance bond.

Contractors must register for each specific classification type of work they perform. Applicants must submit separate applications if engaging in multiple categories, such as general building, electrical, plumbing, or landscaping, ensuring each classification is clearly indicated on the bond form.

Bond Terms and Documentation

The City requires a $25,000 performance bond for each registration. The bond must be executed on the City of North Royalton’s specific bond form, which includes the insurance company’s official seal. The bond term expires annually on December 31st.

The City does not accept continuation certificates for these bonds. Contractors are responsible for ensuring the bond is properly signed and that the document is not faxed to the insurer, but rather downloaded from the official City website to ensure compliance with current local requirements.

Apply through RLI and complete city registration

Purchase Now opens RLI in a new tab. Apply with your contractor classification and the city form. After issuance, assemble the signed bond, registration application, insurance certificate naming the city as additional insured, and current workers' compensation documentation. The registration instructions also call for verifiable trade experience from new registrants.

Once all documentation is gathered, including the Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA) business registration form, the application must be mailed or delivered in person to the North Royalton Building Division.
