A written estimate must be submitted prior to the issuance of a permit and the bond must continue for one (1) year succeeding the completed work. The compliance bond shall ensure the full and faithful compliance by the licensee of all the covenants, terms, and conditions of the construction codes of the city and stands as surety for payment by the licensee of all valid city claims.

(b)

The director shall report each violation of this chapter to the office of the city attorney who shall immediately make demand on the compliance bond holder and his sureties for the amount of liability for each offense.

All sums of money collected under the provisions of this section shall be deposited in the general fund of the city.
