How do contractor bonds work?
A contractor license bond guarantees clients that their hired contractors will follow local licensing laws and industry regulations – set by the obligee (e.g., the City of Burleson). If a contractor breaks their bond contract, the party that suffers damages can file a claim. If the claim is legitimate, the surety will pay out the damages upfront. However, contractors must pay back all approved claims – up to the total bond amount – plus additional fees and interest.
To get your bond, you’ll pay a small percentage of the bond amount, called a premium. ZipBonds can get many contractors bonded instantly, and premiums begin at just $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 the 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.
