How does a contractor license bond work?

The City of Lunenburg Building Department allows contractors to secure a bond or use their general liability insurance on their license application. There are important differences between these two options:

Contractor License Bonds

  • Secured through a surety
  • An annual cost
  • Low annual premium rate
  • A form of financial credit
  • A contract that holds the policyholder accountable for their actions
  • A safety net for the obligee (the entity that requires the bond)
  • Losses are not expected
  • Claims are rare, processed through a surety company
  • Contractors must pay back the surety for any claims filed 

General Liability Insurance

  • Supplied by an insurance company
  • An ongoing, typically higher cost
  • Premium depends on the contractor’s financial and claims history
  • Protection for the policyholder
  • Offers financial peace of mind
  • Typically, losses are expected
  • Claims are more common
  • Insurance company covers claims filed but may increase the contractor’s premium rate or drop them as a client
The bond requirement in Lunenburg varies based on a contractor’s trade.
