About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the cement contractor bond actually covers

A cement contractor license bond is a code-compliance and consumer-protection guarantee. Manatee County wants a financial backstop that registered cement, concrete, and flatwork contractors will build to the adopted codes and abide by the County licensing ordinance.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Manatee County (the obligee), with customers as the protected parties. If a contractor violates the licensing ordinance or leaves faulty work, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

Because the amount depends on your registration class, you enter whatever the County named. The premium is 0.5% of that amount, $100 minimum — priced by the amount, not a credit tier.
