Fargo Re-Roofing Contractor Bond
What it is & who requires it
Re-roofing contractors licensed by Fargo — but the bond itself reaches only the subset who are also transient merchants as North Dakota defines them. That is the distinction to check before you buy: an established local re-roofer files the license application, the workforce safety and insurance coverage statement and the liability insurance, while a re-roofer who is also operating as a transient merchant files the security as well. A re-roofing contractor whose license is classified as not in good standing must stop soliciting or entering new re-roofing contract projects until the deficiency is corrected.
Obligee: City of Fargo (City Auditor). Citation: Fargo Municipal Code ch. 25 art. 25-37 (Re-Roofing Contractors), licensing and bond provisions; § 25-3704 (Revocation — failure to keep and maintain the surety bond); N.D.C.C. §§ 43-07-04 and 43-07-10 (liability insurance, referenced by the article); N.D.C.C. ch. 51-04 (transient merchants).

Term: Kept and maintained for as long as the license is held — the code makes failure to keep and maintain the bond a ground for classifying the license as not in good standing.
Renewal: With the re-roofing contractor license.
Filing
Filed with the Fargo City Auditor. Three features of the article keep a figure off this page. The requirement is conditional — it attaches to applicants who are also transient merchants rather than to every licensee. It is co-equal — the code takes a surety bond or the deposit of cash in lieu of one. And it is a floor rather than a sum, stated as an amount not less than a stated minimum, with the surety required to be a surety company authorized to transact business in North Dakota and the contents and surety subject to the city auditor’s approval. What it secures is conformity with the state’s transient merchant law and full compliance with the material oral or written statements made in soliciting the work. Confirm with the City Auditor whether your operation falls inside the transient merchant limb before you order anything.
