How do contractor license bonds work?

A contractor license bond provides clients with a guarantee that they’ll receive quality work from contractors. By agreeing to the bond, contractors state that they’ll work according to the standards and regulations of the obligee (City of Toledo). Clients can file a claim if a contractor fails to meet any part of the agreement. The surety will initially pay out approved claims, but contractors are ultimately responsible for paying back claims against them.

These bonds are quickly issued and typically cost only $100. Get bonded today by filling out the form below or calling us at (888) 435-4191.

Frequently Asked Questions

You must maintain your bond for as long as your work continues. The bond renewal date often matches the registration renewal, which is December 31 in Toledo. Your bond renewal date will be listed on the bond form.

If your work covers more than one bondable trade, you may need a separate bond and registration for each. Read your municipality requirements thoroughly; if you have questions, you can always contact ZipBonds!
