What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Lumberton registers and licenses building contractors before they may work in city limits, and conditions that registration on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the city's building codes and ordinances on the work you do here.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lumberton (the obligee), with the city and the public as the protected parties. If a contractor performs work that violates city codes or causes harm the city must remedy, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the code and pull proper permits treat the bond as a registration formality, and we track it so your $10,000 filing stays continuous for the life of your registration.

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 $10,000 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.
