What it is and who needs it.
What the Center Line contractor bond covers
The City of Center Line conditions a contractor license or registration on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your promise to follow the City's building codes, permit conditions, and ordinances, and to restore any public property your work disturbs.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Center Line (the obligee). If a contractor violates City code or damages public property and doesn't make it right, the City can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull proper permits and work to code treat the bond as a license formality.
