How does a contractor bond work?

A contractor license bond guarantees that a contractor (the principal in the bond contract) completes work in accordance with city, county, or state laws. This may include adhering to building codes, paying taxes, and fulfilling other contractual obligations. If a contractor in the City of Buffalo breaks their license bond agreement, they may face costly claims.

You do not need to pay the full bond amount to acquire your surety bond. Instead, you’ll pay a premium, a small percentage of the bond. ZipBonds issues contractor license bonds quickly for as little as $100. Apply online today!

Frequently Asked Questions

Bonds typically run on one-year terms and often match registration renewal dates. In Buffalo, the registration renewal date is December 31 annually. You can verify your bond renewal deadline on your bond form.

If you’re only working as a heating contractor in Buffalo, you will likely only need a single contractor bond. However, if your work encompasses multiple trades or multiple locations, you may need more than one bond. Contact the Division of Inspections, Licenses, and Permits to verify your requirements in Buffalo or the building authority in another municipality if you plan to work there.
