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.
