About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the contractor license bond actually covers

Arizona licenses contractors through the Registrar of Contractors and conditions every license on a surety bond under A.R.S. 32-1152. The bond protects people who deal with you — owners, other contractors, suppliers, and laborers — against losses from work that violates Arizona contractor law.

The amount is not a single statutory figure. It is set by your license classification (residential vs. commercial, general vs. specialty) and your anticipated annual gross volume of work. Residential general licenses run up to $15,000 and residential specialty up to $7,500; commercial bonds scale higher with volume.

Residential contractors also choose between paying into the Residential Contractors Recovery Fund or posting an additional bond. We issue the license-bond amount your class requires — premiums from $200, with your exact price shown at the application. Confirm the figure on your ROC application.

A.R.S. 32-1152 (Registrar of Contractors)A.R.S. 32-1152 conditions an Arizona contractor license on a surety bond in an amount fixed by the Registrar of Contractors according to the license classification and the applicant's estimated annual gross volume of work. Residential general bonds run not more than $15,000 and not less than $5,000; residential specialty bonds run not more than $7,500 and not less than $1,000; commercial bonds scale higher. Confirm your required amount on your ROC application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Arizona contractor license bond?Premiums are priced at 0.5% of the bond amount, $200 minimum. The bond amount itself is set by the Registrar of Contractors based on your license class and annual work volume — residential general up to $15,000, residential specialty up to $7,500, commercial higher. Your exact price appears at the application.
What amount do I need?It depends on your license classification and anticipated annual gross volume of work. The ROC sets the required bond on your license; use that figure. If you are not sure, send us your classification and volume and we will confirm.
Is there a credit check?No hard pull — at most a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score. Your premium is priced at 0.5% of the bond amount, $200 minimum — the check affects approval, not price.
What is the Recovery Fund?Residential contractors must either pay into the Residential Contractors Recovery Fund or post an additional bond. The Recovery Fund compensates homeowners harmed by a residential contractor — it is separate from the license bond this page issues.
Where do I file it?With the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, alongside your license application or renewal. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
