How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond ensures that contractors fulfill all obligations outlined in the bond contract and follow standards and regulations set by the obligee (City of Batesville). Clients can submit a claim for damages if a contractor’s work is faulty or insufficient. The surety initially pays out claims, but contractors are responsible for paying all costs back in full, up to the bond amount.
You don’t have to pay the full bond to obtain your contractor license bond. Instead, you’ll pay a premium, which is 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?
Only a single license bond is required of contractors in most cases. The requirements set forth by a municipality usually cover what you need to work in that city or county. However, you may also need a state bond in some situations. Read municipality requirements carefully to ensure you’re operating legally.
When do I need to renew my bond?
Bonds generally have a one-year term. The renewal deadline is often a specific date each year (e.g., September 31). Remember to renew your bond by the date listed on the bond form and keep your license current to continue operating in your state, city, or county.
