About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A contractor license bond is a compliance-and-consumer-protection guarantee. The City of Zachary wants a financial backstop that you'll perform construction work in line with the city's building and licensing code and the terms of your license.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Zachary (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a licensed contractor violates the city code or causes harm covered by the bond, a claimant can recover against it.

This bond renews on a fixed, statutory year-end date rather than your purchase anniversary — so the term you buy runs to that date. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your license never lapses.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the City of Zachary contractor license bond? +
The premium is $275 — the flat-3% minimum on a $5,000 bond (3% of $5,000 is $150, below our floor, so it is $275). Same for every contractor. The $5,000 amount is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
This bond renews on a fixed, statutory year-end date (December 31) rather than your purchase anniversary, so the term you buy runs to that date. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
