About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A sidewalk contractor bond is a restoration and compliance guarantee to the City of Warren. Sidewalk work sits in the public way, where the City has to answer for what gets built — Warren wants a financial backstop that you'll build to City standard and not leave a hazard or a defective walk behind.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Warren (the obligee). If your sidewalk work is defective, damages City property, or violates the City's sidewalk ordinance, the City can recover against the bond up to $1,500.

The bond must stay active while you're licensed. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your sidewalk-contractor license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $1,500 filing continuous.

City of Warren — Building / EngineeringThe City of Warren requires sidewalk contractors to post a $1,500 surety bond with the City as a condition of the sidewalk-contractor license; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Warren under its sidewalk ordinance. We have not cited a specific section number because the City code provision is not published in a verifiable form online — confirm the filing details with the City.
