How does a contractor license bond work?
Ludlow contractor license bonds protect the city and the public. Contractors will obtain their license through the local municipality and bond through a surety provider (like ZipBonds).
If a contractor’s work fails to meet the city’s standards, the party that suffers damages can file a claim on the bond for compensation. The surety will provide temporary financial protection for the contractor by settling the claim up to the bond amount. The contractor will then be responsible for paying the surety back.
All construction activities in the area, including licensing, are overseen by the City of Ludlow Building Department. Licenses and bonds in Ludlow are issued for one-year terms and must be renewed in December before the following calendar year.
The law sets the bond amount at $3,000, but many contractors can get this bond for a $100 premium. Discuss your bonding needs with one of our agents by calling (888) 435-4191.
