About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Meridian bond actually covers

A City of Meridian contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the City. It backs your promise to perform registered work in line with the City's contractor, permit, and building-code requirements — and to repair any damage your work does to public property.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Meridian (the obligee). If you violate the ordinance you registered under or damage City property and fail to fix it, the City can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for as long as you're registered. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your registration and your ability to pull permits — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your filing continuous.
