What is this Bond For?
Carroll County holds plumbing and utility contractors accountable through this bond. It guarantees that the licensed contractor will perform work in compliance with county requirements and that any financial harm caused by violations or incomplete work can be addressed through a bond claim. The obligee — Carroll County — is protected, and so are the property owners and clients who hire bonded contractors. It is a condition of doing business as a licensed plumbing or utility contractor in the county.
When is it Required?
Before Carroll County processes your plumbing or utility contractor license or permit application, the county will request proof of this bond. Submitting your bond certificate is a required step — you cannot receive your county authorization without it. Have your bond in hand before you submit your licensing paperwork so there are no delays in getting your approval.
Where Does it Apply?
