What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A City of Grand Forks contractor license bond is a local compliance guarantee. It promises the City — and the residents you work for — that you'll do contracting work in line with the city's building and licensing rules and correct work that violates them.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Grand Forks (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor requirements, a harmed party can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
The bond must stay active while your registration is current. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your ability to pull permits — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
