AZ residential contractor bonds.
From $100. Enter your amount.
Every Arizona residential-only contractor license requires a license bond filed with the Registrar of Contractors under A.R.S. 32-1152. The ROC sets the amount by your classification — generally $1,000 to $15,000 for residential work — and we price it at 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the residential license bond covers
Arizona licenses contractors through the Registrar of Contractors (ROC), and A.R.S. 32-1152 conditions every original license on a surety bond (or cash deposit) in a form acceptable to the Registrar. The bond amount is set by your license classification and estimated annual construction volume.
A residential license bond protects homeowners and others harmed by a residential contractor’s failure to perform in compliance with the construction contract and Arizona contracting law. It also backs claimants who furnish labor, materials, or equipment, and certain claims under A.R.S. 32-1132. Residential bond limits run lower than commercial — commonly $1,000 to $15,000 — in part because residential work is also backstopped by the ROC’s Residential Recovery Fund.
The bond must stay in full force for your license to be issued or renewed — let it lapse and the ROC can suspend the license. We track yours and notify you ahead of expiration. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
