Overview
Get bonded through the City of Mobile and keep your contracting work moving without interruption. Mobile's Contractor's License Bond is your proof to the city that you stand behind your work and meet local registration requirements. Contractors who skip this step don't get permitted — and contractors who don't get permitted don't get paid. Have this bond in hand before you pull your next permit at Mobile's licensing office.
Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors working within Mobile city limits who are registering for a local contractor's license need this bond. General contractors, residential builders, remodelers, and specialty tradespeople who pull permits through the City of Mobile are all potential applicants. If the City of Mobile has told you that you need a contractor's license bond to complete your registration, this is that bond. It is a local city requirement — it is not your Alabama state contractor license bond.
What is this Bond For?
Mobile's Contractor's License Bond protects the city and the public against financial harm caused by a licensed contractor who fails to meet the obligations tied to their local registration. If a covered contractor violates city ordinances, abandons a job, or causes damage that isn't remedied, the bond creates a claims path for those harmed. The bond signals to Mobile's licensing authority that you are financially accountable before work ever begins. It is a condition of doing licensed contracting business within Mobile — not optional and not interchangeable with general liability insurance.
When is it Required?
Before the City of Mobile will issue or renew your local contractor's license, this bond must already be in place. The moment you apply for a contractor's registration or local license through Mobile's licensing office is when the bond requirement is triggered. You cannot legally pull city permits as a licensed contractor without it. If your bond lapses during an active license period, your registration status with the city is at risk.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the City of Mobile, Alabama. It satisfies the bonding requirement set by Mobile's local licensing authority — not the Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors or any other state agency. Work you perform under this registration is governed by Mobile's local ordinances and permit requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my Mobile Contractor's License Bond cover the subcontractors I hire on a job?
No. Your Mobile Contractor's License Bond is tied to your license and your obligations to the City of Mobile — it does not extend coverage to subcontractors working under you. Each subcontractor operating with their own city registration is responsible for their own bonding. If you are a subcontractor working under a general contractor in Mobile, you may still need your own bond depending on the city's registration requirements for your trade.
What information do I need to have ready when I buy this bond online?
When you complete the application through the My Bond App portal, you'll need your legal business entity name exactly as it appears on your Mobile contractor registration, your business address, and your Mobile contractor license number if one has already been assigned to you. If you are a new applicant and don't have a license number yet, have your business formation documents ready so your entity information is accurate — the City of Mobile will match your bond documents against your registration records.
How does renewal work for the Mobile Contractor's License Bond, and how do I avoid a lapse?
Your bond term runs concurrent with your City of Mobile contractor's license registration period. When renewal is approaching, you'll need to renew your bond before your license renewal is processed — Mobile's licensing office will not continue your registration with an expired bond on file. The safest approach is to renew your bond at least 30 days before the expiration date so there is zero gap in coverage. A lapse in your bond can trigger a lapse in your city license status, which means you can't legally pull permits until it's corrected.
What happens after I click Buy This Bond Online?
You'll open the My Bond App portal in a new tab where you can complete the secure online bond application and finish your purchase. Your Bond Titan tab stays open so you can come back and keep browsing.
Can I buy this bond entirely online?
Yes. Bond Titan connects you directly to the online bond application — there's no paperwork to mail in and no agent appointment required to get started.
Is Bond Titan a licensed agency?
Bond Titan is powered by The Southern Agency, a licensed surety bond agency. We've built Bond Titan so you can find the exact bond you were told to buy and get to the purchase flow in seconds.
