How does a contractor license bond work?

A contractor license bond protects a contractor’s clients from damages due to faulty work. The bond guarantees that contractors meet all applicable regulations and codes of the obligee (the City of Newton). If a contractor breaks their bond agreement, the party that suffers damages can file a claim to receive compensation for their losses.

To obtain your contractor bond in Newton, you’ll pay an annual premium (a small percentage of the full bond amount). ZipBonds can issue these bonds quickly at a typical premium of $100.
