What is an Arizona contractor license bond?

The state of Arizona requires all individuals and businesses that are commercial, residential, general, and specialty contractors to post a contractor license bond

Arizona determines the bond amount (between $2,500 and $100,000) based on the contractor’s license type and total annual revenue. The bond applicant pays a premium to obtain the bond, which is 0.5%-10% of the bond amount (depending on credit history). Specifically, the types of contractors are listed below with the average cost for premiums:

  • Commercial contractors: 0.5% of the bond amount up to $50,000, no credit check needed. 1%-5% of the bond amount over $50,000, depending on the business owner’s credit.
  • Residential contractors: 2% of the bond amount up to $4,250, no credit check needed. 3%-10% of the bond amount over $4250, depending on the business owner’s credit.
  • Dual contractors: 1%-10% of the bond amount, depending on the business owner’s credit.

Bonding ensures that the public will receive compensation for damages if the contractor fails to comply with licensing laws. The Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) handles the regulation of contractors in the state.
