About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the sign erector bond guarantees

The City of Norwalk licenses sign erectors and conditions the permit on a $1,000 surety bond. It is a public-safety and code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your installing signs in accordance with the city’s sign and building codes so a sign does not fall, fail, or violate the ordinance.

The bond runs to the City of Norwalk as obligee. If a sign erector installs a sign that violates the code or causes harm, and the city or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond up to the $1,000 penal sum.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Erectors who pull permits and install to code treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk. We keep your $1,000 filing continuous and notify you ahead of renewal.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.

Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with the City of Norwalk. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Norwalk sign erector permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price
