What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A trade contractor bond is a compliance guarantee. The City of Gallatin wants assurance that its electrical, plumbing, gas, mechanical, and excavation contractors will follow the city's codes and permit conditions and won't leave damage to public property behind.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Gallatin (the obligee). If your work violates city code or damages public property, the City — or a harmed party — can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active while you hold the trade license. Let it lapse and your authority to work in the city can be pulled — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
