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.
