What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Alabama licenses residential roofers through the Home Builders Licensure Board, and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow Alabama's residential roofing law and the Board's rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Alabama / Home Builders Licensure Board (the obligee). If a roofer violates the licensing law and the Board or a harmed party recovers, the claim is paid against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Roofers who follow the rules treat the bond as a license formality, and we track the renewal so your $10,000 filing stays continuous.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
