What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Jefferson County licenses HVAC and mechanical contractors and conditions the license on a $5,000 bond. It is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the county’s mechanical code and licensing rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Jefferson County (the obligee), with the county and the public protected. If an HVAC contractor violates county code and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We keep your $5,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
