How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond guarantees that a contractor (the principal in the bond contract) completes work per county or state laws. This may include adhering to building codes, paying taxes, and fulfilling other contractual obligations.
A Hall County contractor license bond protects the county (the obligee) and a contractor’s clients from financial losses. If one of these parties identifies a break in the bond agreement and files a claim, the surety company will cover the client’s damages. The principal must then reimburse the surety for the amount paid out.
You do not need to pay the full bond amount to acquire your surety bond. Instead, you’ll pay a premium, a small percentage of the full bond amount. ZipBonds issues contractor license bonds quickly for as little as $100. Apply online today!
Frequently Asked Questions
If I need a Hall County bond, do I also need a statewide bond?
Often, a bond in a specific municipality will cover the state requirement. However, you may need both bonds, depending on your contractor type, location, and other factors. Contact ZipBonds for details on your specific situation.
Why would someone file a claim against my surety bond?
If your work or business practices are deemed incomplete, unethical, or excessively lengthy in completion time, someone may file a claim against your bond. To avoid this situation, perform all work professionally and on time, following your industry’s local and state laws and regulations. Note the bond agreement details and respond to client complaints quickly – before they become official claims against your bond.
