The State Board for Residential and General Contractors requires contractors to post a $25,000 surety bond as part of the licensing process to operate in the state. Some cities and counties in the State of Georgia require their own specific surety bonds. Below are the required bond amounts for popular local bonds:
The surety company issuing the bond determines your premium rate, which is the percentage of the total bond amount you pay as the premium. During the application process, the surety company evaluates your personal credit, financial statements, industry experience, and licensing history. EZ Surety can issue premiums for Georgia contractor license bonds for as low as $100 for applicants with standard credit. If your credit is below average, we can still offer a competitive rate for your contractors license bond.
The State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors requires surety bonds to hold licensed contractors accountable for the quality of their work. The bonds protect the public (sometimes a city/county) from damages incurred due to the contractor’s violation of licensing laws or unsatisfactory work.
When the surety company issues the bond, they provide a financial guarantee to the state that the contractor will comply with all building codes and regulations while maintaining ethical business practices. If the contractor violates these regulations, causing a loss to the consumer, the consumer can file a claim against the bond. If the claim is valid, the surety company will cover the costs to repair the damage or complete the work, up to the amount of the bond.
