What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Dothan licenses residential roofing contractors and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer- and public-protection guarantee: it backs your compliance with the City's building and licensing rules for residential roofing work.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dothan (the obligee), with the public protected. If you violate the City's roofing or permit rules and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Roofers who pull proper permits and follow the code treat the bond as a license formality.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
