The bond obligee is the People of the State of New York. The bond must be maintained or immediately replaced for the principal to maintain its state license. This is a continuous bond with no expiration date. The surety company can cancel or revoke the bond by providing the state with a 45-day advance notice.
A requirement to maintain the surety bond is to pay the bond premium each year. We will contact you annually before the due date with renewal payment instructions.
