What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of Hampshire requires a permit for a supervised public display of fireworks within the village. Among the conditions attached to that permit is a $5,000 surety bond filed before the village issues the permit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Hampshire (the obligee), with the village and anyone harmed by the display as the protected parties. If the display causes covered property damage or injury up to the bond's limit, a claim can be made against it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The village may attach other conditions to the display permit, such as liability insurance or an inspection; the bond does not replace any of those. Confirm your specific permit conditions with the Village of Hampshire before your display date.

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 $5,000 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.
