What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Middleburg Heights licenses contractors who pull permits and work inside the city, and conditions the license on a $25,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-and-code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work being performed to the city's building codes and your compliance with the city's contractor ordinance.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Middleburg Heights (the obligee), with the public and permit-holders as the protected parties. If a licensed 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 license formality, and we keep your $25,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

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.
