About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Massillon registers the trades — plumbing, heating, electrical — that pull permits and work inside the city, and conditions registration on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-and-code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your plumbing work being performed to the city's building and plumbing codes.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Massillon (the obligee), with the public and permit-holders as the protected parties. If a registered contractor violates the city's code or damages public property, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull proper permits and pass inspection treat the bond as a registration formality, and we keep your $10,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
