What the bond actually guarantees

Everyone who performs construction within the City of South Euclid must register with the Building & Housing Department, and the city conditions that registration on a $20,000 contractor registration bond on its own bond form. It's an assurance that you'll follow all the rules and regulations of your registration when doing general construction, alterations, and repairs.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of South Euclid (the obligee), with the public protected.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The South Euclid registration bond expires December 31 each year, so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out to keep your $20,000 filing continuous.
