About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Dayton licenses warm air heating contractors and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond filed with the City, along with proof of liability insurance. The bond is a City-and-public-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with Dayton's heating contractor requirements.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dayton (the obligee). If you fail to comply with the City's requirements and someone is harmed, the City can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

The bond must stay active for the life 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, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
