How do contractor bonds work?
A contractor license bond guarantees that clients receive quality work from hired contractors. By signing the bond agreement, contractors agree to work by the standards and regulations of their obligee (City of Harrisburg).
Clients may file a claim if a contractor breaks their surety contract. The surety will initially pay out a claim if approved, but contractors are ultimately responsible for paying the surety back in full for all associated costs.
You will pay a premium, or a percentage of the bond amount, to acquire your bond. ZipBonds can often get you bonded immediately, and premiums start as low as $100 a year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need multiple bonds?
If your work in Harrisburg covers both bondable trades (crane setting and right-of-way work), you may need a separate bond and registration for each. Read your municipality requirements carefully; if you have questions, you can always contact ZipBonds!
How long will my bond cover my work?
Your initial bond will typically last for the calendar year you post it. You must then renew your bond for each consecutive year – for the duration of your project. Keep your bond updated to avoid fines and compliance issues in your location.
