Ridgeland, MS — Contractor's License Bond
Ridgeland's general-contractor packet requires its own $5,000 bond form, an original signed bond and filing with the Building Permit Division.

Questions about this bond
Can I use any company's standard $5,000 form?
The packet says City-furnished forms only and requires an original signed bond filed with the Building Permit Division.
Does the surety Power of Attorney authorize my permit representative?
Not by itself. The packet separately requires an attorney-prepared Limited Power of Attorney authorization on file for a representative taking out permits.
Is cancellation governed by the five-day correction provision?
No. The form separately specifies 30 days' written cancellation notice to the Building Official and retains the stated prior liabilities and unfinished permit work.
