What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A landscape contractor registration bond is a compliance guarantee to the municipality. The City of Avon Lake wants assurance that a registered landscape contractor will work to the City’s ordinances and permit conditions, and will repair any damage to public property — tree lawns, right-of-way, and city infrastructure.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Avon Lake (the obligee). If your work damages public property or violates the City's requirements and the City or a resident is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the $5,000 bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the City's rules and restore disturbed property treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

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 $5,000 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.
