How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond guarantees that contractors will fulfill their obligations – as outlined in the bond agreement. Contractors must uphold the standards and regulations set by the obligee (City of Hermantown). Clients can submit a claim to cover the damages if a contractor performs faulty or insufficient work. The surety initially pays out claims, but contractors are responsible for repaying them in full.
You don’t have to pay the full bond to get your contractor license bond. Instead, you’ll pay a premium, a small percentage of the bond. ZipBonds offers many contractor bonds for just $100 and can issue them instantly – without pulling credit information.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need to obtain a local and statewide bond?
In most cases, only one bond is required. The requirements listed by municipalities generally cover everything you need to work in that city or county. However, in some cases, you may need local and state bonds. Ensure you understand the requirements in your region.
When do I need to renew my bond?
Typically, a bond is active for one year and must be renewed annually by a specific date. Renew your bond by the date listed on your bond form each year to maintain compliance in your area and remain in good standing.
