Orange County, FL Contractor/Performance/Compliance Bond
Overview
Orange County requires contractors to carry this bond before they can pull permits or register to work within the county's jurisdiction. It protects Orange County and the public against incomplete work, code violations, and contractor non-compliance on permitted projects. This is a local county requirement — it is not your Florida state contractor license bond. If you are doing permitted work in Orange County, FL, this bond is part of the package.
Who Needs This Bond?
Contractors working in Orange County, FL who need to register locally or pull county permits must carry this bond. That includes general contractors, residential contractors, and specialty trades operating under an Orange County permit.

It applies whether you are a sole proprietor or a licensed business entity doing work anywhere in unincorporated Orange County or within its permitting jurisdiction.
What is this Bond For?
Orange County's Contractor/Performance/Compliance Bond guarantees that a contractor will perform permitted work according to county codes, complete the scope of work, and meet all local compliance requirements. If a contractor abandons a project, violates county ordinances, or fails to correct deficient work, the bond provides a financial remedy for Orange County or an aggrieved property owner. This bond is about accountability — it gives Orange County a mechanism to act when a contractor does not hold up their end of a permitted job.

Where Does it Apply?
