What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Brandon licenses building contractors through its Department of Building Services and conditions that license on a $10,000 continuous compliance bond. The bond is a public-protection guarantee: it stands behind the faithful and lawful completion of your work in the city and your compliance with Brandon's contractor license ordinance.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Brandon (the obligee), with property owners and the public as the protected parties. If a contractor abandons a project, violates the building code, or breaches the license ordinance, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay continuous for the life of your license and renews annually, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $10,000 filing in force.

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 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.
How to file it
File with the Department of Building Services. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of Brandon contractor license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
