How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond guarantees that contractors meet all obligations to their clients. If a contractor breaks their contract, clients can file a claim on the bond for compensation. The surety may cover the costs of valid claims upfront, but contractors are responsible for repaying the surety in full, up to the full bond amount.
You don’t need to pay the full bond amount to acquire your bond. Instead, you’ll pay a premium, a small percentage of the penal sum. ZipBonds often issues these surety bonds instantly, with premiums starting at just $100.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is my bond up for renewal?
These bonds often have one-year terms. The renewal date for your bond will be listed on your specific bond form. You must renew your bond by this date and keep your license current for your work to remain lawful.
Will I need multiple license bonds?
Most often, contractors need one license bond. However, both local and state bonds are required in some situations. Carefully read your municipality’s requirements to ensure that you follow all applicable regulations.
