What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A county license and permit bond is a compliance guarantee. Roscommon County conditions its contractor license and permit on a $500 bond so that the work you do under that permit follows county ordinances and codes.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Roscommon County (the obligee). If you violate the permit terms or county code and someone is harmed, the harmed party or the County can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who work to code treat the $500 bond as a license formality, not a risk.

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 $500 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
