What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A plumbing contractor bond is a code-compliance guarantee. The City of Jefferson licenses plumbing contractors and conditions the license on a $5,000 bond that you'll do plumbing work to code and follow the city's plumbing ordinances.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Jefferson (the obligee). If you violate the city's plumbing code and the city or a harmed party suffers loss, they can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the city can suspend your ability to pull plumbing permits — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
