About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A contractor registration bond is a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee. The Village of Hartville conditions your contractor registration on it so the village, and residents who hire you, have a financial backstop that you'll follow the village's building and contractor rules.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Village of Hartville (the obligee), with residents and the village as the protected parties. If you violate the contractor ordinance or leave damage to public property unpaid, a harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your $10,000 filing with the Village stays continuous.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 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?The application collects no credit information at all — most applicants are approved instantly. If a check ever runs on a bond like this, it's a soft pull that never affects your score.

When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you're registered with the Village. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your registration never lapses over a missed email.
