If you're a plumber, electrician, framer, drywall contractor, or any other trade working under a GC on a Garfield Heights job site, this bond is likely required before your work can begin.

If you've received a permit requirement or a registration notice from Garfield Heights, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
Garfield Heights uses this bond to hold subcontractors accountable for completing their scope of work and complying with local ordinances and building codes.

This is a compliance bond — it backs your obligation to perform legally and responsibly within the city. It is not an insurance policy for your business; it is a guarantee to Garfield Heights and the parties you work with.
When is it Required?
