What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Fairfield, in Jefferson County, licenses gas fitters and plumbers who work within the city and conditions that license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the city's gas and plumbing codes, permit rules, and ordinances.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fairfield (the obligee). If you do faulty or non-permitted gas or plumbing work that violates the city's requirements and someone is harmed, the City or the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Gas fitters and plumbers 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.
