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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
