What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A contractor bond is a compliance guarantee to the city. The City of Yazoo City conditions its local contractor license on this bond so there's a financial backstop that you'll follow the city's building codes, permit rules, and ordinances when you work inside city limits.
It's a three-party arrangement: you, the contractor (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Yazoo City (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor requirements and the city or a harmed party suffers a covered loss, they can recover against the bond up to its penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull permits and build to code treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

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
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
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 of Yazoo City. Submit the executed bond with your City of Yazoo City contractor license application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
