What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Socorro registers building and construction contractors and conditions that registration on a $5,000 blanket bond. The bond is a public-and-code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the city's building code and permit requirements across the work you pull.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Socorro (the obligee). If a contractor violates the city's building ordinances or leaves permitted work non-compliant, 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. Contractors who pull proper permits and pass inspections treat the bond as a registration formality.
