About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the contractor license bond covers

The City of Canton is the seat of Madison County, north of Jackson. Like other Mississippi cities, it conditions a local contractor license or privilege on a surety bond as a condition of doing construction work inside the city.

The bond is a compliance-and-consumer-protection guarantee to the city: it stands behind your compliance with Canton’s building and licensing rules and answers for work that violates them. The City of Canton is the obligee, and city residents who hire you are the protected parties.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because the city sets the required amount, we issue whatever figure your license application names, at a flat 3% with no credit check.

City of Canton — contractor licensingThe City of Canton requires a contractor license bond as a condition of its local contractor license or privilege; the bond amount and terms are set by the City. We have not cited a specific ordinance number because Canton’s contractor licensing code is not published in a form we can verify line-by-line — confirm the exact requirement and amount with the Canton City Clerk’s office.
