About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Monett requires a surety bond of any plumbing contractor that needs a permit to install, repair, or modify plumbing systems within city limits. The bond is a condition the City enforces to regulate plumbing work — a code-compliance guarantee sized at $5,000.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Monett (the obligee). The bond guarantees that your plumbing work complies with City codes and that any resulting damage or violation is financially covered. If you fail to, the City or an injured party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Plumbers who follow the City code treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
