What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Hendersonville conditions its contractor permits on a surety bond filed with the Building and Codes Department. The $50,000 bond applies to contracts or bids over $25,000; smaller jobs use the $10,000 bond instead. It is a code-compliance guarantee for work done within city limits.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hendersonville (the obligee). The bond guarantees you comply with the city’s codes, laws, and ordinances governing building, grading, excavation in the public right-of-way, plumbing, electrical, gas/mechanical, housing, fire, health, and zoning.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code treat the bond as a permit formality. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your filing stays continuous.
