What it is and who needs it.
What the trade contractor bond guarantees
The City of Harlem, Georgia licenses plumbing, electrical, and mechanical contractors who work within its limits, and conditions that license on a $1,000 surety bond. The bond is a guarantee that you will follow the city building, permit, and trade-licensing rules while you work.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Harlem (the obligee). If you violate the terms of your license or leave city-required work undone, the city 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. Trade contractors who pull proper permits and finish their work treat the bond as a license formality. We keep the $1,000 filing continuous and notify you 60 and 30 days before renewal.

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 premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
