FAQs
What is a license and permit bond?
A license and permit bond is a type of commercial surety bond required by government agencies to ensure that businesses follow local, state, or federal laws. This financial guarantee protects the public from potential violations by the bonded party.
Why do I need a license or permit bond?
Many industries—like construction, auto dealing, or electrical contracting—require a business license or permit backed by a surety bond. The bond is a type of security that reassures regulators the business will comply with applicable laws and codes.
What does obtaining a license and permit surety bond involve?
The process typically includes a credit check, selection of the correct bond form, and paying a premium based on the total bond amount. The surety company then issues the bond to the appropriate agency.

How much does a license and permit bond cost?
Permit bonds cost depends on the bond amount, the applicant’s credit score, and the risk involved. For example, if the bond amount is $10,000, the premium might range from $100 to $500 annually depending on your financial profile.
