What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Canton licenses home improvement contractors and salesmen through its Building Department and conditions that license on a surety bond filed with the Chief Building Official — the standard amount is $10,000. The bond is a consumer-and-City-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with Canton's home improvement code.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Canton (the obligee), with homeowners as the protected parties. The bond conditions you to save and keep the City harmless from loss or damage arising from your failure — or your agents' and employees' failure — to comply with the City's home improvement chapter.
You must keep the bond (or a continuation certificate) in force through each renewal of your license. Let it lapse and your license is no longer in good standing — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out. Enter your required amount and we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check.
