About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A Parma contractor bond is a compliance guarantee to the City of Parma. It says that as you work in the city, you'll follow the building, engineering, and zoning code and won't leave the city or its residents on the hook for code violations or damage to public property.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Parma (the obligee). The city's Building, Engineering & Zoning Department requires the bond at $25,000, and for landscapers the city requires its own bond form be used.

The bond runs to December 31 — Parma's contractor bond expires at year-end. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your registration never lapses over a missed renewal.
