Confirm before you buy

Bryant's code sets bond requirements in more than one place, including separate sections for plumbing work, electrical work and digging in the public right of way. Call the permit office, tell them your trade and the kind of work you do, and ask them to confirm that this $5,000 bond is the one they need from you, whether they use their own bond form, and whether they want the original. Getting that settled first keeps the bond from being reissued.

What the bond guarantees

The bond is a promise to the City that you will follow Bryant's permit and building rules on your jobs. If a valid claim is made, the surety can pay up to $5,000 and you repay the surety. It does not replace your state contractor license where your trade needs one, and it is not liability insurance.

Keeping it in force
