What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (LFUCG) regulates alarm businesses operating in Fayette County, and conditions an alarm company's registration on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-and-consumer-protection guarantee that you operate within the county's alarm ordinance.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government (the obligee), with the public as the protected parties. If your alarm business violates the county's alarm rules and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for as long as your registration is in force, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration.
