What it is and who needs it.
What the registration bond covers
Pickaway County requires contractors and sub-contractors to register with the county before working there, and conditions that registration on a surety bond running to Pickaway County.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Pickaway County (the obligee). The bond guarantees you'll follow the county's building and contractor regulations; if you violate them and the county or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the county requires for $150 flat, and no credit check up to $15,000. We track the term and notify you 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 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

What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $150 for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
No credit check up to $15,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
