What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Dothan, in Houston County, licenses subcontractors who work within the city. For a commercial subcontractor whose work falls under the $100,000 commercial limit, the City conditions that license on a $2,000 surety bond.
The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the city's building code, permit rules, and licensing ordinances. It is a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dothan (the obligee).
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Subcontractors who pull their permits and do code-compliant work treat the bond as a license formality, and the bond must stay active for the life of your city license.
