About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Dothan residential roofing bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every roofer. The $10,000 is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Why does Dothan require it? +
The City conditions its residential roofing license/permit on this bond, which backs your compliance with the City building and licensing rules. No active bond, no license.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount contractor bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
