How do contractor bonds work?
A contractor license bond ensures that clients receive satisfactory work from hired contractors. By agreeing to the bond contract, contractors promise to follow the standards and regulations of the obligee (City of Amarillo).
Clients can file a claim against the bond if they suffer damages because their contractor broke the bond contract. If the claim is legitimate, the surety company will step in to cover the costs to settle the claim immediately. However, the contractor will be responsible for repaying the surety for all claim-related expenses, including interest and fees.
You’ll pay a premium to get your contractor bond – a small percentage of the total bond amount. ZipBonds often issues these bonds instantly for as little as $100.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my bond cover my work?
A contractor bond typically lasts for one calendar year and must be renewed to remain active. The annual bond renewal deadline will be listed on your bond form.
What if a claim exceeds my bond amount?
The bond limit (penal sum) is the maximum dollar amount a client can receive by filing a claim against your contractor bond. If damages exceed that sum, clients may seek other forms of compensation. As a contractor, you can typically avoid allegations by responding to client complaints quickly and respectfully and finishing work on time.
