How does a contractor license bond work?
The surety bond guarantees that the contractor complies with local licensing and permit laws for the industry. If they don’t, they could cost other parties money. Any party that experiences damages can file a claim against the bond for compensation.
When obtaining the $5,000 Putnam County surety bond, the contractor acts as the principal in agreement with the obligee (Putnam County) and the surety company. If someone files a valid claim against the bond, the contractor will be held liable for covering the costs up to the full bond amount.
