What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A contractor’s bond is a compliance-and-consumer-protection guarantee. Adams County conditions a local contractor license or privilege on this bond so that contractors working in the county follow its building and licensing rules and answer for work that violates them.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Adams County (the obligee), with county residents who hire you as the protected parties. If you violate the county’s contractor requirements and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We keep the $5,000 filing continuous and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your county license never lapses over a missed email. The premium is $100 flat, and the application has no credit check.

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 $5,000 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.
