How do contractor license bonds work?

The Village of South Russell (obligee) sets the contractor license bond terms. The bond is a safeguard for clients, ensuring the contractor (principal) adheres to all applicable city and state laws while performing work in the area.  

If the contractor breaks any part of the bond agreement, the surety company will initially cover any damages to other parties. These parties may include the city, state, or individual clients. The contractor is ultimately responsible for paying the surety back for any covered claims, up to the full bond amount ($10,000) – plus fees and interest.

To obtain your surety bond, you will pay a premium – a small percentage of the bond value. ZipBonds can issue contractor license bonds quickly at a typical premium rate of $100.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bond terms typically last one year before needing renewal, and the bond renewal deadline often coincides with the registration renewal date. In South Russell, the registration renewal is December 31 each year. Your bond renewal date will be listed on your bond form. 

You may need a separate registration and registration fee for each trade you work in and will likely also need a separate bond for each trade. You can verify your requirements with the South Russell Building Department or contact ZipBonds with any questions.
