What it is and who needs it.
What the Kent plumbing contractor bond covers
The City of Kent registers plumbing contractors before they can pull plumbing permits and work in the city. Registration is conditioned on a plumbing contractor bond running to the City of Kent as obligee.
The bond guarantees you will perform plumbing work to the City's code, correct defective work, and follow the terms of your registration and permits. If you violate the plumbing code or leave work unfinished and the City or a property owner is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Registered plumbers who keep their work to code treat the bond as a registration formality. We issue the amount the City set; pricing is 0.5% of that amount, with a $100 minimum.

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 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
