About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Dothan licenses the trades that work inside the city, and conditions a commercial refrigeration contractor's license on a $5,000 surety bond filed with the city. The bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee: it backs your promise to install and service commercial refrigeration to the city's mechanical code.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dothan (the obligee). If your work violates the city's ordinances and the city or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull permits and work to code treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep it continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
