What it is and who needs it.
What the Ridgeland bond actually guarantees
A City of Ridgeland contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the City. It backs your promise to perform work in line with the City's contractor-registration, permit, and building-code requirements — and to make the City whole if your work damages public property or violates the ordinance you registered under.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Ridgeland (the obligee). If you damage a street, sidewalk, or utility while working under your registration 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 contractor registration and your ability to pull permits — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.

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.
How to file it
File with the City. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Ridgeland when you register as a contractor. Wet-ink original mailed on request — the City requires the signed original on file.
