Gwinnett County conditions a contractor permit on a $25,000 building code compliance bond — it guarantees your work meets the County building code. Ours is $750 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount, identical for every contractor. The application is five minutes.
















Contractor compliance bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, owner information, and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit section.
Fixed compliance bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Gwinnett County contractor permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Gwinnett County conditions a contractor permit on a $25,000 building code compliance bond. It is a code-compliance guarantee: it backs your obligation to perform permitted construction in accordance with the Gwinnett County building code and the conditions of your permit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Gwinnett County (the obligee). If your work violates the building code and the County is harmed — or has to correct deficient work — it can recover against the bond up to the $25,000 limit.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields, with no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
