How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond ensures that contractors fulfill all obligations outlined in their contract. The bond agreement holds that contractors will follow the standards and regulations of the obligee (the City of Corinth). Clients can submit a claim for damages if a contractor’s work is faulty or insufficient. The surety pays out approved claims initially, but contractors are ultimately responsible for paying the claim back, up to the full bond amount.
Contractor bond premiums through ZipBonds start at just $100. Due to the simple underwriting, we don’t need to pull credit for these bonds and often issue them instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Generally, only one license bond is required of contractors. The requirements stipulated by your municipality usually cover everything you need to work in that city or county. Sometimes, however, both a local and state bond are required. You should read municipality requirements carefully to ensure you’re following all standards.
Most bonds are active for one year and then must be renewed, while others have multi-year options with discounted rates. The renewal deadline is generally set to a specific date each year (e.g., September 1). To avoid extra fees, you must renew your bond by the date listed on the bond form and keep your license current.
