City of Dothan subcontractor bonds.
$275 flat. Five minutes.
The City of Dothan requires a $2,000 license bond before it will license a subcontractor — the tier with a $50,000 commercial work limit. Ours is $275 flat — the minimum premium, since 3% of $2,000 lands under it. Five-minute application, no credit check on this bond.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Dothan licenses subcontractors at a tier capped at $50,000 of commercial work, and conditions that license on a $2,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your work meeting the city’s codes and your compliance with the licensing ordinance.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Dothan (the obligee), with city residents as the protected parties. If a licensed subcontractor violates the city code or ordinance and someone is harmed, the harmed party or the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Subcontractors who stay inside the commercial limit and pull proper permits treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep your $2,000 filing continuous with renewal reminders 60 and 30 days out.
