What this bond does
The bond supports the City contractor license. Its condition requires work in accordance with the City's building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical codes and ordinances and payment of properly imposed fines and penalties.
- Who needs it
- The contracting company or principal applying for City registration. Match the legal contractor and responsible agent on the application, and confirm whether the actual residential work falls within the City's described registration scope.
- Who it protects
- The City of Sharon is the named obligee in the complete sample bond. The form makes the principal and surety liable to the City for failure to meet the stated code-performance and fines-and-penalties condition.

Questions about this bond
Does this apply automatically to every residential improvement?
The City's instructions distinguish its registration program from work considered home improvement under Pennsylvania rules and include some residential alterations. Confirm the actual classification with Code Enforcement instead of assuming either a universal City bond mandate or a blanket residential exemption.
Does the annual license replace the bond's notice provision?
The City registration follows the calendar year with annual resubmission after December 15. The sample undertaking separately requires 15 days' written notice to the City before termination of surety liability. Keep those requirements distinct.
