What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A contractor license bond is a code-and-consumer-protection guarantee to the village. The Village of Sheffield conditions your contractor license on a $15,000 bond so there is a financial backstop that you will build to code and follow the village's contractor rules.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of Sheffield (the obligee), with the public and your customers as the protected parties. If you violate the village's building or contractor code, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your license stays continuous.
