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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $25,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
