How does a contractor license bond work?

A contractor bond guarantees contractors fulfill their obligations to clients. In signing the bond, contractors agree to follow the standards and regulations of the obligee (City of Lee’s Summit). 

Clients can file a claim for compensation if a contractor’s work does not meet the stipulations of the bond agreement. The surety initially pays out an approved claim, but contractors are ultimately responsible for repaying the surety in full. A claim could cost a contractor as much as the total bond amount.

To acquire your surety bond, you’ll pay a premium (a small percentage of the penal sum). ZipBonds often issues contractor license bonds instantly for as low as $100. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Bonds often expire annually. You must renew your bond by the date listed on your bond form and keep your license current to continue operating legally as a contractor.
