What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee. The City of McPherson wants a financial backstop that you'll follow its building codes and ordinances and that the public is protected from harm caused by your work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of McPherson (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor ordinance and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and your license is in jeopardy, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
