Alabama General Contractor License Bond
Overview
Need to get licensed as a general contractor in Alabama? You need this bond before the state will issue your license. Alabama's licensing authority requires general contractors to post a surety bond as a condition of licensure — it's not optional, and it's not the same as your liability insurance. Bond Titan makes it fast and simple to get bonded so you can move forward with your application.
Who Needs This Bond?

What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the public and the state by guaranteeing that you, as a licensed general contractor, will operate in compliance with Alabama's contractor licensing laws.
