How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond holds contractors responsible for fulfilling all obligations of their proposed work and following the standards and regulations of their obligee (City of Richland). Clients can file a claim for damages if a contractor’s work is deemed faulty or insufficient. Approved claims are paid out by the surety company initially, but contractors are ultimately responsible for paying back the claim up to the full bond amount.
To acquire your surety bond, you’ll pay a premium (a small percentage of the penal sum). ZipBonds offers premiums as low as $100 and often issues contractor license bonds instantly.
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.
