How does a contractor license bond work?

A contractor license bond guarantees that contractors fulfill all obligations of their proposed work, following the standards and regulations set by the obligee (City of Pearl). 

If a contractor breaks their contract and costs another party money, that party can file a claim for reimbursement. The surety initially pays out approved claims, but contractors are ultimately responsible for paying the claim back, up to the full bond amount. 

ZipBonds can issue many contractor bonds instantly for as low as $100. We don’t even need to pull credit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bonds often have a one-year term. The renewal date is usually set to a specific date each year (e.g., August 1). You must renew your bond by the date listed on your bond form and maintain your contractor’s license to remain in good standing. 

The requirements dictated by a municipality usually include everything you need to work in that area. In some cases, both a local and a state bond may be necessary. Read municipality requirements carefully to maintain compliance in your area.
