What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee. The City of Lincolnton wants assurance that a licensed contractor will follow the city's building codes, permit conditions, and local ordinances when working inside its limits.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lincolnton (the obligee). If you violate the license terms in a way that causes a covered loss, the city or a harmed party can claim against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your city license. Let it lapse and the city can suspend your license — so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration to keep your filing continuous.

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