About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Danville licenses contractors locally and conditions that license on a $5,000 surety bond filed with the City. The bond is a property-owner-and-City protection guarantee: it backs your compliance with the City's building, permitting, and contractor rules.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Danville (the obligee), with the property owners you serve as the protected parties. If a contractor violates the City's contractor rules and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We keep your $5,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
