What it is and who needs it.
What the Baltimore bond guarantees
The City of Baltimore licenses haulers who operate on credit and conditions that license on a $10,000 bond. The bond is a compliance-and-consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your obligations under the City hauling rules and to the customers you bill on credit.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the City of Baltimore (the obligee). If a credit hauler violates the City rules and the City or a customer 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 the life of the license — we track the date and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
