Who Needs This Bond?
Independent plumbing contractors applying for a local license in Nashville and Davidson County, established plumbing businesses expanding into the Nashville metro area, and sole proprietors offering plumbing services in Davidson County all need this bond. If you've been told by the county's licensing office that a surety bond is required before your plumbing contractor license is approved, this is the bond they mean. It is not a state-level requirement — it is specific to Nashville and Davidson County.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Nashville and Davidson County and its residents by holding licensed plumbing contractors financially accountable for their work. If a contractor violates local plumbing codes, abandons a job, or causes harm through improper work, an injured party can file a claim against the bond. The bond does not protect the contractor — it protects the public and the county's regulatory interest in safe, code-compliant plumbing work.
When is it Required?
Nashville and Davidson County's licensing authority requests this bond during the plumbing contractor license application process — before your license is issued or renewed. You cannot legally operate as a licensed plumbing contractor in this jurisdiction without it. Have the bond in hand before you submit your license paperwork so there's no delay in your approval.
Where Does it Apply?
