Ashville contractor bonds.
$300 flat. Five minutes.
The Village of Ashville requires every contractor classification to register with the Building Department and file a $10,000 Contractor Registration Bond before the registration is approved. This is the bond for any trade that does not have its own listing. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount. Five-minute application, no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A contractor registration bond is a code-compliance and consumer-protection guarantee. The Village of Ashville registers all contractor classifications, and wants a financial backstop that any registered contractor performs its work to Village regulations — whatever the trade.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Village of Ashville (the obligee), with harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a contractor commits a registration violation or breach of contract, the damaged party may use the bond as restitution for financial losses.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Registrations expire December 31, and the Building Department wants an active bond on file to renew — we track that so your registration never lapses.
