How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond guarantees that contractors fulfill their proposed work and follow the standards and regulations of the obligee (City of Petal). Clients can file a claim for damages if a contractor’s work is deemed faulty or insufficient. The surety initially pays approved claims, but contractors are ultimately responsible for paying the claim back, up to the full bond amount.
You don’t need to pay the full bond amount upfront to acquire your bond. Instead, you’ll pay a small premium, a percentage of the penal sum. ZipBonds issues many contractor bonds instantly for as low as $100.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need to renew my bond?
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.
Will I need multiple license bonds?
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.
