About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Hope requires contractors to hold a city contractor license and post a surety bond as a condition of working within city limits. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the City of Hope building and contractor ordinances and to work under proper permits.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hope (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor ordinance and the city or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.

Because the City of Hope sets the amount, you enter whatever figure your city application names. Enter that figure — the premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, set by the amount the city named, not a credit or underwriting tier. Same honest pricing as every bond we write.
