Questions about this bond
Should I check trades that I subcontract to another company?
The application expressly says not to check work for which you subcontract. Identify the work your own company performs and ensure subcontractors meet their separate registration requirements.
Does one general contractor's registration cover every subcontractor?
No. The County requires subcontractor registration and makes it a prerequisite to building-permit issuance.
Is a State workers' compensation waiver a bond exemption?
No such surety exemption is stated. The application treats the State clearance/exemption as alternative workers' compensation evidence, separate from its $5,000 bond.
