What it is and who needs it.
What the master plumber bond actually guarantees
A master plumber license bond is the City of Tonawanda's financial backstop that a licensed master plumber will follow the City's plumbing code and the conditions of the permits they pull. It is filed when you register your master plumber license with the City.
It is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Tonawanda (the obligee). If plumbing work violates the City's code or a permit and the City or a harmed party is owed, recovery can be made against the bond up to its $5,000 penal sum.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your authority to pull plumbing permits — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
