One bond per trade

The Village's contractor registration packet lists six categories: General Building, Electrical, HVAC (Hydronic), Fire Suppression Commercial, Plumbing and Other.

What the bond covers

The Registration Bond form names the Village of Ashville as obligee. The principal must observe all duties and discharge all obligations incurred during the registration period under village ordinances on the construction, alteration, repair, reconstruction or remodeling of any building or structure, ordinances on underground construction and work within the public right of way, and the lawful orders of the Village issued under those ordinances. The form cites Ordinance 2010-02 and Section 1321.03 of the Codified Ordinances.

Registration runs on the calendar year

Every registration expires December 31. Contractors submit a new application every year. The packet sets a $100 penalty for starting work before obtaining a contractor or subcontractor registration.
