What it is and who needs it.
What the registration bond actually guarantees
Ohio has no statewide contractor license — cities set their own registration rules. The City of Pickerington conditions contractor registration on a surety bond as a public-protection guarantee, with the bond filed with the City.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Pickerington (the obligee). The bond stands behind your compliance with the City's building, zoning, and contractor ordinances and the proper restoration of any public property your work touches.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull permits, follow the code, and restore the site treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

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 premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
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 of Pickerington. Submit the executed bond with your contractor registration at Pickerington City Hall. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. 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.
