What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A county contractor registration bond is a code-compliance guarantee. When you build in Fayette County, the county wants a financial backstop that you'll follow its building code and regulations and repair work that fails inspection.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Fayette County (the obligee). If you damage public property, abandon a permitted job, or violate the building code, the county or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. Let it lapse and the county can pull your contractor registration — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
