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 (District of Dakota Dunes).
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
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 each consecutive year for the duration of your project. Keep your bond updated to avoid fines and compliance issues in your location.
What if a claim exceeds my bond amount?
The bond amount is the highest dollar value a client can receive from a bonded contractor. However, if work-related damages exceed that amount, clients may seek other forms of compensation. As a contractor, you can typically avoid claims by performing your work with excellence and communicating well with clients.
