Contractor Bonds
Contractor Bonds are one of the most requested groups of surety bonds in the country, and Bond Titan carries 598 variants of them across the United States. Contractor bonds guarantee that you'll perform the work you've contracted for and pay your subcontractors and suppliers. Without one, most states won't issue a contractor's license — and most general contractors won't let you on the jobsite. Common forms inside this group include Contractor's License Bond, Roofing Contractor Bond, and Electrical Contractor Bond, plus 3 more specialty forms. Filter by your state to find the exact form your obligee requires — the same contractor bond name can have different bond amounts and conditions depending on the jurisdiction.

Common questions
Who needs a contractor bond bond?
Licensed general contractors, electrical and plumbing contractors, roofers, HVAC trades, and any specialty contractor whose state or city requires a bond before issuing a license. Many private project owners and general contractors also require contractor bonds on jobs above a certain contract value.
How much does a contractor bond bond cost?
Contractor bond premiums usually run between 1% and 3% of the required bond amount per year, with rates set by personal credit and business financials. A $25,000 license bond, for example, often costs $250 to $750 annually for a credit-qualified contractor.
Do contractor bonds differ from state to state?
Yes — even within the same generic category, bond amounts, terms, and conditions are set by each state's regulating body or court. A contractor's license bond bond in one state may be a fraction of the amount required in another. Always select your state when searching so the form you buy matches what your obligee has on file.
