Who Needs This Bond?
General contractors applying for or renewing a Group 2 contractor license in South Carolina need this bond. Group 2 typically covers contractors working on projects within a defined dollar threshold below the higher-tier Group 1 classification. If the South Carolina Contractors' Licensing Board has told you that your application requires a bond, this is the one. It applies statewide — no matter which county or city you intend to work in.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the public and your clients by guaranteeing that you will conduct your contracting work in compliance with South Carolina's contractor licensing laws. If you fail to meet those obligations, an affected party can file a claim against the bond for covered losses. It is not insurance for your business — it is a financial guarantee that runs in favor of harmed third parties. The South Carolina Contractors' Licensing Board is the obligee that requires it.
When is it Required?
Applying for your Group 2 general contractor license with the South Carolina Contractors' Licensing Board is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. You cannot complete the licensing application without submitting proof of the bond. Renewal cycles may also require you to maintain continuous bond coverage. Let your license lapse and you will need to re-bond before reinstating it.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond satisfies a statewide South Carolina licensing requirement administered by the South Carolina Contractors' Licensing Board. It is not tied to a specific city, county, or municipality — it covers your authorization to work as a licensed Group 2 general contractor anywhere in the state. Your bond must remain active for as long as you hold the Group 2 license.
