About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A sign-contractor bond is a code-compliance guarantee. The City of Yonkers registers the contractors who install, erect, and maintain signs in the City — the bond gives the City a financial backstop that you follow its sign and building codes and correct unsafe or non-compliant work.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Yonkers (the obligee). If a sign contractor violates City sign code or damages public property, the City can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. For most contractors the bond is simply a line on the City registration checklist.

City of Yonkers — sign contractor registrationThe City of Yonkers requires this $5,000 bond as a condition of registering as a sign contractor; the bond amount and terms are set by the City department that administers building / sign permits. We did not locate a published code section for the bond amount, so the $5,000 figure is taken from the bond form itself — confirm on your City registration paperwork.
