What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Sikeston requires a contractor to post an acceptable indemnity bond of $5,000, with the City as obligee, before it will issue a license to build. It's a compliance guarantee that you'll perform work in accordance with the City's building codes.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Sikeston (the obligee). The bond saves the City harmless against code violations — if you violate the building code and the City suffers a loss, it can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Electricians and plumbers may post a separate City bond as well; this $5,000 indemnity bond covers the general contractor license to build.

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.
