About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A plumbing license bond is a code-compliance guarantee. When you hold a master plumber license in the City of Niagara Falls, the city wants a financial backstop that your work will follow the plumbing code and the conditions of your license.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Niagara Falls (the obligee). If a licensed plumber's work violates the code or damages city property, the city or a harmed party can recover against the $5,000 bond.

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