How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond protects clients from damages due to faulty contractor work. The bond ensures that contractors will meet all applicable regulations and codes of the obligee (the City of Brainerd). If the contractor fails to follow the bond agreement fully, clients can file a claim to receive compensation.
To obtain your $5,000 contractor bond in Brainerd, you’ll pay a percentage of the bond amount – called a premium. ZipBonds issues many contractor bonds instantly for as low as $100 per year.
