Who Needs This Bond?
General building contractors, residential construction companies, and specialty trade businesses operating under a Class U classification in New Castle County all need this bond.

What is this Bond For?
New Castle County uses this bond to hold Class U building contractors financially accountable for their licensed work. If a contractor fails to comply with county regulations, abandons a project, or causes damages tied to their licensed activities, the bond provides a financial remedy for harmed parties. It is a condition of licensure — not optional insurance — and it protects the public and the county throughout the 2026–2027 license term.
When is it Required?
At the point of applying for or renewing your Class U building contractor license with New Castle County, you will be asked to submit proof of this bond.
