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 and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check — same honest pricing as every bond we write.
