GA nonresident contractor tax bonds.
Flat 3%. Enter your amount.
Before an out-of-state contractor begins a Georgia contract worth more than $10,000, Georgia requires a performance and tax bond filed with the Department of Revenue under O.C.G.A. 48-13-32. The amount is at least 10% of the contract price; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the nonresident contractor bond covers
Georgia requires a nonresident contractor — one without a permanent place of business in the state — to register each contract over $10,000 with the Department of Revenue and post a bond under O.C.G.A. 48-13-32. Filing the bond is a condition precedent to commencing work: no bond, no legal start.
The bond guarantees that all taxes accruing to the state and its political subdivisions from the contract get paid — including unemployment contributions under Title 34, Chapter 8. The required amount is not less than 10% of the contract price, and a contractor running multiple jobs can post a blanket or master bond.
If the contractor leaves taxes unpaid, the state recovers against the bond — and if the surety pays, the contractor repays the surety. We issue the amount your contract requires at a flat 3% with no credit check, on DOR form ST-C 214-4.
