About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A Haines City roofer bond is a code-compliance and consumer-protection guarantee. As a roofer pulling permits in the city, you install and repair roofing systems to the building code. The city wants a financial backstop that you will follow the building code and make good on damage caused by code violations.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Haines City (the obligee), with your customers as the protected parties. If your work causes harm through a code violation, the affected party can recover against the bond up to $5,000.

The city's bond form carries a mandatory expiration of September 30 each year. We track that date and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your Building Division registration never lapses on a missed renewal.
