What it is and who needs it.
What the Richmond contractor bond covers
The City of Richmond, the Wayne County seat, conditions general contractor registration on a surety bond filed with the City. The bond is a public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the City’s building, permit, and right-of-way rules while you work inside city limits.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Richmond (the obligee), with the City and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If your work damages public property or you violate the City’s contractor ordinance, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull proper permits and restore the work site treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

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
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
