What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Morristown gas contractor bond is a compliance guarantee. Before the city's Building Inspections Department will issue a permit for gas piping and appliance work, it wants assurance that the contractor will perform the work according to the city's adopted building and fuel-gas codes and make good on any harm the work causes.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Morristown (the obligee) — the permit is issued by Building Inspections, and the bond is filed to support that permit.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a valid claim against the bond, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for as long as you hold a gas contractor permit with the city, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $5,000 filing continuous.
