About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A general contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee. The City of Dothan wants a financial backstop that a licensed contractor will follow the city's building codes, ordinances, and permit conditions — and not leave the city or the public holding the cost of unpermitted or non-compliant work.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dothan (the obligee). If a contractor violates the city's contractor ordinance and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull permits and build to code treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
