How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond guarantees that contractors fulfill all client obligations. By signing the bond, contractors agree to abide by the standards and regulations of the obligee (City of Rocky Mount).
Clients can file a claim for compensation if a contractor’s work fails to meet all components of the agreement. Approved claims are initially paid to clients by the surety, but contractors are responsible for paying back claims over a set period.
To acquire your bond, you will pay a premium. ZipBonds issues many contractor license bonds instantly for as low as $100 per year.
