What it is and who needs it.
What the Walkerton contractor bond guarantees
The Town of Walkerton conditions its contractor license on a $5,000 surety bond filed with the Town. The bond is a public-protection guarantee: it backs your compliance with the Town’s building, permit, and right-of-way rules while you work in Walkerton.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Walkerton (the obligee), with the Town and harmed parties as the protected parties. If your work damages public property or violates the 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 permits and restore the work site treat the bond as a license 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 $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.
