About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Hagerstown licenses gas fitters through its Department of Engineering & Permits, Permits and Inspections Division, and conditions the license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind a licensed gas fitter's obligation to work in accordance with the City's plumbing and gas-piping code.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hagerstown (the obligee), with property owners and the public as the protected parties. If a licensed gas fitter's work violates the City's code and a harmed party suffers a loss, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Gas fitters who pull permits and work to code treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep it continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

City of Hagerstown Department of Engineering & PermitsThe City of Hagerstown requires a $5,000 surety bond as a condition of its gas fitter license, administered by the Department of Engineering & Permits, Permits and Inspections Division. The City does not publish a specific municipal code section for this bond amount online; we confirm the current bond form and requirement against the City's application before issuing.
