About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Pinehurst requires contractors to register before pulling permits or beginning construction, and conditions that registration on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond guarantees to the city that you will work to code and honor your permit obligations.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Pinehurst (the obligee). If a contractor's faulty work or failure to follow the city's construction rules causes a loss, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. At $5,000 the bond is small, the premium is $100 flat, and no credit check.

City of Pinehurst contractor registrationThe City of Pinehurst handles contractor permitting through its Building Permits and Inspections Department; the $5,000 bond names the City of Pinehurst as obligee and guarantees compliance with the city's construction and permit requirements. Pinehurst does not publish its Code of Ordinances online — confirm the requirement and the $5,000 amount with the Pinehurst city office before you file.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with the City of Pinehurst. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

No credit check.
