About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Belleville's general licensing ordinance conditions a contractor license on a surety bond filed with the City's business licensing office, and sewer contractors — because their work ties directly into the City's public sewer system — carry a higher $50,000 bond than the City's baseline $10,000 contractor filing.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Belleville (the obligee), with the City's sewer infrastructure and affected property owners as the protected interest. If a licensed sewer contractor's work damages the public sewer system or violates the City's licensing ordinance, the City can draw against the bond to cover repair or correction.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The license and bond typically run on an annual cycle, so we track your renewal date to keep your $50,000 filing continuous.
