What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A sidewalk bond is a workmanship and public-safety guarantee to the city. The City of Canton conditions sidewalk laying, relaying, and repairing work on a $10,000 bond so that sidewalks in the public right-of-way are built to city standards and left safe for pedestrians.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Canton (the obligee). If your sidewalk work is defective, fails to meet city specs, or leaves the walk unsafe and you do not correct it, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. We track the 10/31 statutory renewal and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your registration stays continuous.
