How does a contractor registration bond work?

A contractor license bond ensures that contractors fulfill all client obligations sufficiently – or pay the consequences.  The contractor signing the bond agreement promises to follow the standards and regulations of the obligee (Fairfield County). Clients can file a claim for compensation if a contractor’s work breaks any part of the bond contract. In the case of a claim, the surety will cover the costs to settle upfront, but contractors are ultimately responsible for paying back all claims in full.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bonds usually run on single-year terms and require annual renewal. Your specific renewal date will be listed on your bond form.
You’ll need a bond for each trade if you work in multiple trades. Read your contractor registration requirements carefully to guarantee compliance in your city or county.
