What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
York County, Virginia conditions its local contractor business license on a $10,000 surety bond. It is a public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the County's heating or air conditioning contracting licensing and permit rules and the building codes the County enforces.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and York County (the obligee), with County residents as the protected parties. If a licensed contractor violates the County's heating or air conditioning contracting ordinance or permit conditions and someone is harmed, they 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 finish their work treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
