Sole proprietors, small contractors, and larger firms alike are subject to the city's bonding requirement. If the city has told you to get bonded before you can proceed, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and excavation contractors working in Goodlettsville will comply with city ordinances, building codes, and the conditions attached to their local license or permit. If a contractor causes damage, abandons a job, or violates city requirements, an affected party can make a claim against the bond for financial relief. Goodlettsville is the obligee — the party protected by the bond — and you, the contractor, are the principal who stands behind the guarantee. It is not insurance for your business; it is a financial assurance to the city and the public.
When is it Required?
Applying for a contractor license or trade permit with the City of Goodlettsville is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. The city will not approve your application or issue your license until a valid bond is on file. Renewal of an existing license may also trigger the requirement if the bond has expired or been cancelled. Any contractor starting a new licensing period or responding to a city notice about missing documentation should secure this bond before submitting paperwork.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the City of Goodlettsville, Tennessee — it is a local municipal requirement, not a statewide Tennessee contractor bond.

Contractors who work in surrounding jurisdictions or across Davidson County may face separate bonding requirements in those areas.
