How does a contractor license bond work?

Contractor license bonds ensure that contractors meet all applicable regulations and codes of their obligee (City of Enid). The bond is a safeguard for clients. 

The contractor acts as the principal in the bond contract. The bond guarantees a client compensation if the contractor breaks licensing and permit laws that result in damages. The surety may cover any costs to settle a bond claim upfront, but the contractor is ultimately responsible for paying back the surety over time.

Contractors don’t need to pay the full bond amount to acquire their bond. They will instead pay a premium, a small percentage of the bond amount. ZipBonds can issue these bonds quickly for just $100.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your initial bond registration will likely last for the calendar year you filed it and expire on December 31. You can verify your specific bond renewal deadline on your bond form. Remember to keep your bond and registration up to date to remain in good standing as a contractor.

The bond amount is the maximum dollar value a client can request for compensation from a bonded contractor. However, if damages exceed this amount, clients may seek other compensation. As a contractor, it is best to avoid claims by always working professionally and rectifying client complaints effectively as they arise.
