What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the village. The Village of Brooklyn Heights wants a financial backstop that your work follows the village building code and the conditions of your contractor registration.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Brooklyn Heights (the obligee), with the public protected. If a contractor violates the building code or the terms of registration and harm results, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who keep their work to code treat the bond as a registration formality, and we track it so your $25,000 filing stays continuous.
