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. Richmond Heights registers specialty-trade contractors through its Department of Building, Zoning & Housing and conditions registration on a surety bond as a public-protection guarantee.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Richmond Heights (the obligee). The bond stands behind your compliance with the City's ordinances for the specialty you name on the application, 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.
