Oklahoma Nonresident Contractor Bond
Who needs a nonresident contractor license bond in Oklahoma?
Nonresident contractors working in Oklahoma whose contracts exceed $100,000 must register with the Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC) and post a surety bond. The bond requirements range from $10,000 to $100,000, depending on the type of work. The OTC will notify you of your bond amount upon registration.
These contractors must also provide the following:
- A registration application
- Notification of accepted contract(s) to the Tax Commission, Oklahoma Employment Security Commission, State Industrial Court, and county assessor of each county where work is done
- Forms requested from each of the departments above upon notification of work
Complete registration requirements are listed in the Oklahoma Business Registration Packet for Nonresident Contractors.

How does an Oklahoma nonresident contractor bond work?
A contractor license bond ensures clients receive quality work from their contractors. By signing the bond agreement, contractors hold that their work will abide by the standards and regulations of the obligee (State of Oklahoma). Clients can file a claim if a contractor breaks the signed bond contract. If a claim is valid, the surety will initially compensate the claimant, but the contractor will be held responsible for repaying the surety for all costs involved.
You will pay a premium, a percentage of the bond amount, to acquire your bond. ZipBonds can often get you bonded the same day you apply, and premiums start at just $100.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my bond cover my work?
You must keep your bond, registration, and worker’s compensation up to date to remain in good standing in the State of Oklahoma. You can verify your bond renewal deadline on your bond form.
What if a claim exceeds my bond amount?
The bond amount is the maximum dollar value a client can request for damages. However, clients may seek other compensation methods if damages exceed this limit. As a contractor, it is best to avoid claims by working professionally and efficiently and answering client complaints as they arise.
