What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Parma specialty contractor bond is a compliance guarantee to the City. It stands behind your promise to follow the City of Parma’s building and contractor ordinances and perform your specialty trade work to code within the city.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Parma (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor or building requirements and the city or a property owner is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Specialty contractors who work to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
