About this bond

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 the application collects no credit information. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
