What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Greensboro requires a privilege license for certain businesses operating inside the city limits — most commonly taxicab operators and businesses that sell beer and/or wine — under Chapter 13 of the Greensboro Code of Ordinances. A $2,000 surety bond is one of the conditions of that license.
The bond runs to the City of Greensboro as obligee. It guarantees the license holder will pay all permit fees, license fees, and other charges owed to the city, and holds the city harmless from loss, damage, or expense caused by the license holder's negligence or oversight.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the city can refuse to issue or renew the privilege license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $2,000 filing continuous.
