About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A City of Brazil contractor license bond is a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee. Brazil conditions contractor registration on the bond so the city — and the residents you do work for — have a financial backstop if you violate the city's contractor or building rules.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Brazil (the obligee). If a contractor does work that damages city property or breaches the local contractor ordinance, the city can recover against the bond.

We issue the amount the city set; pricing is credit-tier based, starting from $100, and no credit check up to $500,000. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with the City of Brazil. Submit the executed bond with your contractor registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.

What sets the price

The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $500,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application, issued on the spot.

Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Brazil set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
