How does a contractor license bond work?
A bond ensures that contractors fulfill all obligations of their proposed work and follow the standards and regulations of their obligee (Rankin County). Clients can file a claim for compensation if a contractor’s work is faulty or insufficient. The surety company initially pays out approved claims, but contractors are ultimately responsible for paying back the claim, up to the full bond amount.
ZipBonds offers contractor bond premiums starting as low as $100. Due to simple underwriting, we don’t require a credit check for these bonds and often issue them instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need to renew my bond?
Bonds typically 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.
