It guarantees that licensed contractors will meet their obligations to clients, subcontractors, and the county.

Who Needs This Bond?
Residential and commercial general contractors, construction firms managing large-scale building projects, and sole proprietors holding or applying for a Class A Building Contractor license in New Castle County all need this bond. If New Castle County's licensing office has asked you to submit proof of a surety bond before they issue or renew your Class A license for the 2025–2026 term, this is the exact bond you need. It applies to contractors doing business within county jurisdiction — not just those working on county-owned properties.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects property owners and New Castle County by holding Class A Building Contractors financially accountable for their licensed work. If a contractor fails to perform, violates county building codes, or causes financial harm through negligence or misconduct, the bond provides a means of recovery.

When is it Required?
Before New Castle County will issue or renew a Class A Building Contractor license for the 2025–2026 term, the licensing authority requires proof of this bond.

The bond must be in force for the full licensing term, so purchasing it promptly keeps your license application on track.
Where Does it Apply?
