The City of Hendersonville requires a $50,000 surety bond to register as a swimming-pool contractor within the City — the codes / building department wants a guarantee you'll build to code and stand behind the work. Ours is $1,500 flat, exactly 3% of the $50,000 penal sum, the same for every contractor.
















Contractor registration bonds like this are simple. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Contractor bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of Hendersonville pool contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$50,000 bond × 3% = $1,500, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A City of Hendersonville pool contractor bond is a code-compliance and consumer-protection guarantee. The City conditions pool-contractor registration on a $50,000 bond so homeowners and the City have a financial backstop that you'll build pools to the City's codes and follow its contractor rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hendersonville (the obligee), with the homeowners you build for as protected parties. If a contractor violates the City's building code or contractor ordinance and someone is harmed, 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 build to code and pull proper permits treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
