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 Converse). 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

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.

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.
