About this bond

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 wants a financial backstop that a registered general contractor performs its building, alteration, repair, and construction work to Village regulations.

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.
