If a valid claim is filed — because of non-compliance, failure to complete permitted work, or other covered misconduct — the bond provides a financial remedy. It is not insurance for you; it is a guarantee to the city and affected parties that you will perform as required.
When is it Required?
Before your Starkville contractor's license is issued or renewed, this bond must already be in place. The city will not approve your license application without confirmed proof of bonding on file.
