What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
This is a license / code-compliance guarantee to the City of Opelika. It assures the city that your plumbing work will follow the city's adopted plumbing code and permit conditions — if faulty or unpermitted work causes a loss, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Opelika (the obligee). The $5,000 is the surety's maximum exposure, not a deposit — nobody holds your cash.
The bond must stay active while you hold the Opelika plumbing license. If it lapses your license can be suspended, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your filing continuous.
