What the contractor tax bond actually covers
Delaware's Division of Revenue requires every non-resident contractor and subcontractor to post a tax bond under Title 30. The bond is a tax guarantee: it stands behind the Delaware gross receipts and other taxes a contractor owes on construction work performed in the state.
The bond amount is 6% of the contract or subcontract price on any contract of $20,000 or more — or 6% of the estimated cost-and-profit on a cost-plus job. When two or more contracts in one calendar year total $20,000 or more, the bond is 6% of the aggregate. The bond must be filed before construction commences.
The Division of Revenue releases the bond at the completion of the contract, after verifying that all state tax liabilities have been met. We issue the amount the Division requires at a flat 3% with no credit check — form 1125 (the Non-Resident Building Trades Contractor Bond) or an alternative bond form the state accepts.
