What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A contractor registration bond is a code-compliance guarantee. The City of Janesville registers contractors who pull building, electrical, plumbing, or right-of-way permits, and the bond promises the City that you'll follow its building and permit codes.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Janesville (the obligee). If you violate the code or leave permitted work that the City must correct, it can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active while you hold the registration. Let it lapse and the City can suspend your registration — so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
