About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A Grandview Heights contractor bond is a compliance guarantee to the city. It backs your promise to follow the City of Grandview Heights' building and zoning code, pull required permits, and perform registered work to code.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Grandview Heights (the obligee). If you damage public property, leave a permit unresolved, or violate the city code, 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 pull their permits and finish their work treat the bond as a registration formality, nothing more.

The premium is $275 — our minimum. Three percent of the $5,000 bond amount is $150, which is below the $275 minimum, so the price is $275. The bond amount is set by Grandview Heights, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount municipal bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
