What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A City of Greensboro contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the city. It stands behind your agreement to follow Greensboro's building, permitting, and contractor-registration rules while you work inside the city.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Greensboro (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor ordinance or leave permitted work in a state that harms the public, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the city's code and close out their permits treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

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 $5,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
