South Russell HVAC contractor bonds.
$100 flat.
Also known as the South Russell, Ohio HVAC Contractor License Bond.
The Village of South Russell licenses contractors who install or service heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems within the village, and the license requires a $10,000 bond — ours is $100 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application asks for a Social Security number; the form does not say whether a credit check follows.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Village of South Russell regulates HVAC installation and service work within village limits, administered by the village's Building Department. A contractor who wants to install or service heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems in the village obtains an HVAC contractor license, and the license is conditioned on this $10,000 bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Village of South Russell (the obligee), with property owners and the public as the protected interest. If a licensed contractor's HVAC work damages property or violates village mechanical or building rules, the village can look to the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $10,000 filing continuous.

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.
