Who needs a contractor bond in Haines City?
Haines City requires registered contractors to obtain a $5,000 contractor license bond to work within city limits. However, the city will waive this surety bond requirement if you have your Florida state contractor certification. Be sure to verify all contractor requirements with Haines City before beginning work.
The Haines City bonding requirement is in addition to the statewide Florida bonding requirement. Construction contractors with a credit score of 660 or lower must obtain a contractor license bond.

How does a contractor license bond work?
A Haines City contractor license bond guarantees that the bonded contractor complies with applicable licensing and permit laws. If they don’t, parties that suffer as a result can file a claim against the bond for compensation. The surety company may initially cover damages incurred, but the principal must later repay them in full. When obtaining a contractor license bond, the principal enters into an agreement with the City of Haines City (obligee) and the surety company.
These bonds are quickly issued and typically cost only $100. Get bonded today by filling out the form below! You can also visit our page on contractor license bonds in Florida for more information.
