Renew every year

The license is annual, and the District states it must be renewed every year. Plan for the bond to stay in force for as long as you hold the license, and renew it on the same cycle.

What the bond guarantees

The bond protects the District if a licensed contractor fails to follow the District's rules. All work by licensed contractors must meet the District's current Rules and Regulations and its Design and Construction Standards. The District also bars installations from Friday at 4 p.m. until Monday at 8 a.m. without advance approval, and does not allow anyone it has not authorized to enter, operate, adjust, alter, move or relocate District facilities. A contractor who breaks those rules and leaves costs behind can face a claim against the bond, which the contractor must repay to the surety.
