About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Wyandotte's zoning code (Chapter 190) gives the city authority to require a bond for any sign erected in or overhanging a public right-of-way, where the sponsor must first get sign-off from the agency with jurisdiction over that right-of-way; sign plans generally must also be reviewed and approved by the Building Department before a sign is erected. The Building Department administers the bond requirement as part of the sign permit and contractor registration process.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Wyandotte (the obligee), with the city and anyone harmed by defective sign work as the protected parties. If a sign contractor's negligence, faulty installation, or a sign's collapse or failure causes damage, a claim can be brought against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because the code does not fix a public statute number for the sign-contractor bond itself, we frame this conservatively: the $5,000 amount and the requirement to carry it are set and enforced by the city's Building Department, not by a codified state statute.

City of Wyandotte Building DepartmentWyandotte's Zoning Code, § 190.329 (Signs), authorizes the city to require a bond for any sign in or overhanging a public right-of-way and conditions new signage on compliance with the city's Building Code. The Building Department sets and administers the $5,000 sign contractor bond as part of that sign-permit process; we could not verify a separate codified statute number fixing the $5,000 amount, so we name the department rather than guess at a section.
