What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor license bond actually guarantees
Augusta-Richmond County is a consolidated city-county government, and it licenses contractors who work within its limits. As part of that license, the county can require a surety bond — a guarantee that you will follow the county building, permit, and licensing rules while you work.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and Augusta-Richmond County (the obligee). If you violate the terms of your license or leave county-required work undone, the county or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull proper permits and finish their work treat the bond as a license formality. We issue the amount the county set, pricing from $100 with your exact price shown at the application.
