What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A City of Greendale residential construction contractor bond is a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee. Greendale conditions residential contractor registration on the bond so the city — and the homeowners you do work for — have a financial backstop if you violate the city's residential building or contractor rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Greendale (the obligee). If a residential contractor does work that damages city property or breaches the local building ordinance, the city can recover against the bond.
We issue the amount the city set; pricing is credit-tier based, starting from $100, and no credit check up to $100,000. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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.
How to file it

What sets the price
