What it is and who needs it.
What the Saugerties contractor bond guarantees
A municipal contractor license bond is a code-and-conduct guarantee to the local government. Saugerties wants assurance that licensed contractors will follow its building code, pull required permits, and clean up after work that affects public or private property.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town/Village of Saugerties (the obligee). If you violate the municipality's contractor ordinance or leave damage the code makes you responsible for, the municipality or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your contractor license. Let it lapse and Saugerties can suspend your license — so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration, keeping your filing continuous.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Saugerties licensing office. Submit the executed bond with your contractor license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the municipality insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
