Spartanburg County Contractor License Bond
Who needs a contractor license bond in Spartanburg County, South Carolina?

How do contractor bonds work?
Contractor bonds ensure that contractors meet all applicable regulations and codes of the obligee (Spartanburg County). 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.
You won’t need to pay the full bond amount to get your bond. Instead, you’ll pay a premium, a small percentage of the bond value. ZipBonds can issue these bonds quickly for just $100.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my bond cover my work?
Your bond will often cover you for the calendar year you first post it. The bond renewal date will then be the same day annually for every year your project continues. The bond renewal date will be listed on the bond form upon completion. You must keep your license and bond up to date to remain in good standing with the county.
What if a claim exceeds my bond amount?
The bond value is the maximum dollar amount a client can obtain directly from a contractor. If damages exceed that amount, clients may seek other methods of compensation. As a contractor, you should avoid claims at all costs by working professionally and efficiently.
