What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Macedonia, a city in Summit County, requires every general contractor to register annually with the Building Department before performing work in the city, and to post a $25,000 surety bond at the time of registration.
Under Macedonia Codified Ordinance 1361.03, at the time a general contractor applies for a permit or license, they post a bond binding them in the penal sum of $25,000 (subcontractors post $10,000). It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Macedonia (the obligee) — the bond backs your compliance with the city's building code and the conditions of your registration.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the city code and pull proper permits treat the bond as a registration formality.

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 premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
