What this bond does
Support the applicant's City of Parma specialty-contractor registration using the accepted classification and City instrument.
- Who needs it
- Businesses registering a defined specialty, rather than selecting general contracting or another trade merely to avoid describing the work.
- Who it protects
- The City form addresses damage from the principal's permitted work and compliance with Parma's code duties and lawful orders. It benefits the City and parties injured by the specified noncompliance; it is not a liability policy or a separate project payment 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.

Questions about this bond
Can I use an older Parma surety form?
The City form revised August 8, 2025 marks all other versions obsolete. Use the current accepted instrument.
Is $25,000 correct for every kind of work?
That is the standard contractor amount in the instructions, but concrete suppliers and landscapers have separate stated amounts. Confirm the classification that matches your work.
Can the bond be sent to the City before the rest of the packet?
The registration instructions say bonds sent separately without the entire registration packet will not be accepted.
