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.

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 $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Building Department. Your signed and sealed bond arrives by email, ready to submit with your Contractor/Subcontractor Registration Packet to the Ashville Building Department. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
