Questions about this bond
Which registration form should I use?
The City's building-permits page links its contractor registration Jotform. Follow that actual City-linked application and the trade-specific instructions.
Do State-licensed plumbing and fire alarm applicants upload the standard bond?
The linked form gives them an application-and-State-license route without bond or insurance. Use the credentials specified for the actual trade.
Does the bond application renew registration through December 31?
No. The City form states annual December 31 registration expiry and rejects expired required documents. Complete that separate filing and the applicable permit.
