Virginia Home Service Contract Provider Bond
Overview
Selling home service contracts in Virginia? You need a surety bond before the state will license you as a Home Service Contract Provider. This bond guarantees that you will fulfill your obligations to Virginia consumers who purchase service contracts covering repair or replacement of home systems and appliances. It is a mandatory financial assurance requirement — not optional, and not something you can skip or defer.
Who Needs This Bond?
Home warranty companies, appliance protection plan providers, and businesses that sell service contracts covering HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or other home systems in Virginia all need this bond. If your company is applying for or renewing a Home Service Contract Provider license with the Virginia State Corporation Commission, this bond is part of your required filing package. Both new entrants and established providers operating statewide must maintain this bond as a condition of their license.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects Virginia consumers who purchase home service contracts from providers who fail to perform their contractual duties. If a licensed provider collects premiums but does not pay claims, honor repairs, or fulfill the terms of issued service contracts, a harmed consumer can file a claim against this bond. The bond holds you financially accountable to the people who rely on your service contracts and gives the state a mechanism for enforcement.
When is it Required?
Virginia requires this bond at the point of license application — before the State Corporation Commission will approve you to sell home service contracts to residents. You will need to submit proof of the bond alongside your application materials. The bond must remain active and in force throughout the entire period your license is valid, so any lapse can put your operating authority at risk.
Where Does it Apply?
This is a statewide Virginia requirement administered by the Virginia State Corporation Commission. It applies to any Home Service Contract Provider doing business with Virginia consumers, regardless of where the provider's offices are physically located. There is no county- or city-specific version of this bond — one statewide bond covers your Virginia licensing obligation.
