What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
This is a license / property-protection guarantee to the City of Ozark. It assures the city and its residents that tree cutting and stump grinding work will be done responsibly and that damage to public or private property — sidewalks, utilities, neighboring land — will be made right; a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Ozark (the obligee). The $10,000 is the surety's maximum exposure, not a deposit — nobody holds your cash.
The bond must stay active while you hold the Ozark contractor 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.
