About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Parma registers the trades that pull permits inside the City, and conditions electrical contractor registration on a $25,000 bond. The bond is a guarantee to the City that you'll perform electrical work in compliance with the City's building and electrical codes and your permits.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Parma (the obligee), with the public protected. If a contractor's work violates the City code, damages public property, or abandons a permitted job, the City — or a harmed party, where the City's bond allows — can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull permits and pass inspections treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

City of Parma — contractor registration (electrical)The City of Parma requires a $25,000 surety bond as a condition of registering as an electrical contractor authorized to pull permits and perform electrical work in the City. The bond amount and terms are set by the City of Parma; the $25,000 penal sum is shown read-only on the application. We have not cited a numbered codified ordinance because the registration is administered through the City building department rather than published here as a numbered statute.
