What it is and who needs it.
What the plumbing contractor bond covers
The City of Johnson City licenses plumbing contractors and conditions that license on a fixed $10,000 surety bond filed with the City. The bond is a code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your plumbing work to the city plumbing code and your compliance with the licensing ordinance.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Johnson City (the obligee). If a plumber performs non-conforming work or violates the licensing ordinance, the City or a harmed party can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the license can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out. We issue the fixed $10,000 amount at $100, and the application collects no credit information.
