What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Palm Beach County contractor bond is a public-infrastructure guarantee tied to your Certificate of Competency. The rules of the county's Construction Industry Licensing Board say the $2,000 bond is to be used to repair damage done to government infrastructure, and that it runs with your licensing year or years.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Palm Beach County (the obligee, the party the bond protects). The rule ties the bond to one purpose: repairing damage done to government infrastructure, up to $2,000.
The bond must stay active for the life of your Certificate of Competency. We track the expiration and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your county filing continuous.
