The City of Dothan requires residential roofing contractors to post a $10,000 bond before working in the city. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every roofer — with no credit check on this one.
















Contractor license bonds like this are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. No financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed contractor bonds like this are among the thousands that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Dothan for your roofing license or permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Dothan licenses residential roofing contractors and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer- and public-protection guarantee: it backs your compliance with the City's building and licensing rules for residential roofing work.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dothan (the obligee), with the public protected. If you violate the City's roofing or permit rules and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond up to $10,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Roofers who pull proper permits and follow the code treat the bond as a license formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
