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.
Name your contractor type and enter the bond amount the City required — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
