What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Montgomery County contractor license bond is a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee. The county conditions contractor registration on the bond so it — and the residents you do work for — have a financial backstop if you violate the county's contractor or building rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Montgomery County (the obligee). If a contractor does work that damages county property or breaches the local contractor ordinance, the county can recover against the bond.
We issue the amount the county set; pricing is credit-tier based, starting from $100, and no credit check up to $50,000. 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.

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 $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
