About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A Nassau County contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee. On the county’s bond form, you promise to faithfully perform the duties of your license and comply with the laws and ordinances that apply to it. Nassau County asks for the bond when it licenses a local contractor through a certificate of competency.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Nassau County (the obligee, the party the bond protects). The county is the only obligee: if you break the laws or ordinances that apply to your license, Nassau County can claim against the bond, up to $2,000.

The bond must stay active for the life of your county registration. Let it lapse and your registration can be pulled — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $2,000 filing continuous.
