How does a contractor bond work?

Contractor license bonds protect clients from damages resulting from contractor work that fails to meet requirements. The bond guarantees that contractors follow all applicable regulations and codes of the obligee (the City of Decatur). If the contractor breaks any part of the bond agreement, clients may file a claim on the bond and receive compensation.

You will pay a premium, or a small percentage of the full bond amount, to obtain your needed contractor license bond. ZipBonds can issue license bonds quickly, at a typical premium of $100.
