How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond guarantees that contractors will fulfill all their obligations to clients. By signing the bond agreement, contractors hold that they will follow the standards and regulations of the obligee (City of Chillicothe).
Clients can file a claim on the surety bond if their contractor fails to follow the bond agreement. The surety pays out approved claims upfront, but contractors are ultimately responsible for paying back claims in full.
ZipBonds can often issue these bonds immediately for premiums starting at just $100.

When do I need to renew my bond?
