What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A sign-contractor bond is a code-compliance guarantee. The City of Kenosha registers contractors who erect, install, alter, or repair signs, and the bond promises the City that you'll follow its sign code and safely complete or remove the work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kenosha (the obligee). If you install a sign that violates the code or leaves a hazard 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.

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.
