About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Morristown conditions a plumber license on a $5,000 surety bond filed with the City. The bond stands behind the licensed plumber's compliance with the City's licensing conditions and plumbing-code requirements on work performed within Morristown.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Morristown (the obligee), with property owners and the City itself as parties the bond can protect. If a licensed plumber fails to perform covered obligations, a harmed party can make a claim against the bond up to its $5,000 face amount.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond generally needs to stay active for the life of the license, so confirm renewal timing directly with Morristown's Building Inspections / Codes Enforcement department when you file.

City of Morristown Building Inspections DepartmentMorristown's Building Inspections and Codes Enforcement department administers trade licensing, including the plumber license, and sets the $5,000 bond as a condition of licensure. We could not independently verify a specific municipal code section for this requirement, so we name the department rather than cite a number — confirm the exact code section and any additional licensing steps directly with the City before filing.
