About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A municipal contractor license bond is a code-compliance guarantee. When you build in the Village of Highland Hills, the Village wants a financial backstop that you'll follow its building code and ordinances and repair work that fails inspection.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Highland Hills (the obligee). If you damage Village property, abandon a permitted job, or violate the building code, the Village 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 Village can pull your contractor registration — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $25,000 filing continuous.

Village of Highland Hills — contractor registrationThe Village of Highland Hills requires this bond as a condition of its contractor registration. Ohio has no statewide non-mechanical contractor license, so cities and villages set their own registration rules by ordinance; the Village of Highland Hills sets the bond amount ($25,000) and registration terms through its building department.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Highland Hills contractor license bond?The premium is $125 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this specific bond — not a percentage of the bond amount. The $25,000 bond amount is set by the Village of Highland Hills, and the $125 you see is the price checkout charges.
Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $125. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, so most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs on a bond like this, it's a soft pull only — it never affects your credit score.
When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the registration. 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.
