According to the City of Dover, Ohio Municode, contractors who perform electrical, plumbing, landscaping, and heating, air-conditioning, refrigeration, and appliance work must be licensed and bonded with the Building and Zoning Department. The original signed and sealed Contractor License Bond and any other licensing documentation must be sent to the following mailing address:
City of Dover
Building and Zoning Department

Dover, OH 44622
The bond must be active for the duration of the license. Upon your bond term's expiration, you will receive an invoice - all that's needed is payment to keep the bond on file with the City.
The Contractor License Bond is required to ensure that the electrician, HVAC worker, plumber, or landscaper abides by the regulations of their license and upholds all construction standards. In cases where the licensee commits a violation that leads to financial losses or causes damages to someone’s property, the surety bond will act as restitution for losses incurred by the claimant.
