How do contractor bonds work?
A contractor license bond ensures clients receive satisfactory work from contractors. By signing the bond, contractors state that their work will conform to the standards and regulations of the obligee (Town of Ramapo). Clients can file a claim for damages if a contractor doesn’t meet all parts of the signed agreement. The surety will initially pay out approved claims to clients, but contractors must later pay back any claims against them in full.
You’ll pay a premium to obtain your bond, which is a percentage of the penal sum. ZipBonds can often process your bond the same day as applying – and premiums begin at just $100.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my bond be in effect indefinitely?
Bonds often require annual renewal and typically expire on December 31. You can verify your bond renewal date on the bond form. Your bond must remain in effect for the entire length of the project you’re working on.
What if a claim exceeds my bond amount?
The bond amount is the total amount a client can request in case of a claim. Clients may seek other means of compensation if a claim exceeds the full bond amount.
