About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A city contractor bond is a code-compliance guarantee to the City of Goodlettsville. When you register as an electrical, plumbing, mechanical, or excavation contractor, the city wants a financial backstop that you'll perform work to code and follow the city's building and trade ordinances.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Goodlettsville (the obligee), with property owners and the public as the protected parties. If you violate the code or damage public property, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull permits and work to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
