About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Bedford registers building contractors and conditions that registration on a $1,000 surety bond filed with the City. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work in the city and your compliance with the City's building code and permit conditions.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bedford (the obligee), with property owners and the public as the protected parties. If a contractor violates city building code or fails to meet a permit condition, the City can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull their permits and build to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

City of Bedford — building contractor registrationThe City of Bedford requires this $1,000 bond as a condition of its building contractor registration; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Bedford Building Inspections / Permitting department.
