What it is and who needs it.
What the Dillon contractor bond covers
The City of Dillon requires contractors who pull permits and do work inside the city to hold a contractor license, and conditions that license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond runs to the City as obligee and stands behind your compliance with the City's building and licensing requirements.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dillon (the obligee). If you violate the City's contractor or permit rules and the City or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who keep their permits and inspections in order treat the bond as a license formality. We issue it at a flat $100, and no credit check.

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 $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
