About this bond

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.
