What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor license bond covers
The City of Canton is the seat of Madison County, north of Jackson. Like other Mississippi cities, it conditions a local contractor license or privilege on a surety bond as a condition of doing construction work inside the city.
The bond is a compliance-and-consumer-protection guarantee to the city: it stands behind your compliance with Canton’s building and licensing rules and answers for work that violates them. The City of Canton is the obligee, and city residents who hire you are the protected parties.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because the city sets the required amount, we issue whatever figure your license application names, priced on a quick review. The application collects no credit information.

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 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
