About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Cleveland Heights conditions landscape and snowplow contractor registration on a $10,000 surety bond. It's a guarantee that you'll follow the city's contractor rules and won't leave the city or a resident on the hook for damage to public property while you work in Cleveland Heights.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Cleveland Heights (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor ordinance or damage public property and don't make it right, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who work cleanly and keep the city whole treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
