What it is and who needs it.
What the Calvert County bond covers
Calvert County licenses contractors and home-improvement work at the local level, and conditions the license on a surety bond. The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the County licensing rules and the obligations you take on when you do licensed work for County residents.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and Calvert County (the obligee), with your customers as the protected parties. If you abandon licensed work or violate the licensing rules and 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. Contractors who finish their work and keep their license in good standing treat the bond as a licensing formality.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
