However, contractors have to obtain the appropriate permits and have a requirement to register with the City of Chardon for tax purposes, which will be initiated by completing and submitting the above RITA Business Registration Form. In addition, Contractors must submit a $5,000 Bond with Certificate of Insurance listing the City as additionally insured if they are performing work in the public right-of-way.
