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.

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 bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
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
File with the city. The original bond is mailed for your signature, to attach to your Parma contractor registration packet. Bonds sent without the full packet are not accepted by the city.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $125 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
