What this bond does

Provide the bond for the applicant's stated Whitehall non-mechanical registration rather than an assumed mechanical trade.

Who needs it
General, sign or low-voltage applicants matching the business owner, company and registration period.
Who it protects
The attached instrument names the City and addresses its stated construction/installation/repair damage and indemnity obligations. It is not liability insurance or an automatic project payment guarantee.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this 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.

Separate the original bond from emailed forms

Use the enclosed $25,000 bond with business principal/address, issue and expiration dates, number, principal/surety signatures and seal. The packet allows emailing completed forms, but specifically says an original bond must be mailed or physically delivered. An emailed purchase receipt is not that original.

For renewal, a continuation certificate may replace the original only with the bond number matching the prior bond. Registrations expire one year from approval, and the bond/insurance must remain in force through the current registration. Multiple types require their actual applications; the code permits one bond for the contractor's multiple registrations.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Match the non-mechanical class, legal business, City form, $25,000 and approval-period dates. After issuance, check execution and arrange confirmed original delivery or qualifying renewal filing. Complete the separate tax registration for a new registrant and obtain project permits; no work may begin merely because the bond was purchased.
