What it is and who needs it.
What the nuisance wildlife bond guarantees
The City of Duluth licenses nuisance wildlife removal businesses — operators who trap and remove raccoons, skunks, bats, and other wildlife from homes and properties — and conditions the license on a $3,000 surety bond. Because the work happens on private property and involves humane handling of animals, the City wants a financial backstop standing behind the operator's compliance with the ordinance.
The bond is a consumer-and-animal-welfare guarantee running to the City of Duluth: it stands behind your humane and lawful removal practices, honest dealing with the property owners who hire you, and compliance with the wildlife removal ordinance. If you violate those terms and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Duluth (the obligee). It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
