What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Seven Hills licenses contractors who work in the city and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work following the City's building code, ordinances, and permit conditions.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Seven Hills (the obligee). If your licensed work violates City code or a permit condition and the City or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull their permits and pass inspection treat the bond as a license 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 $10,000 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.
