What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Clayton County conditions a contractor license on a $10,000 code-compliance bond. The bond is a guarantee that the contractor’s work meets the county building code and that the contractor corrects code violations and completes permitted work properly.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Clayton County (the obligee), with the public protected. If a contractor leaves code violations uncorrected or abandons permitted work, the county or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep your $10,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
