What it is and who needs it.
What the Rankin County bond actually covers
A Rankin County contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the County. It backs your promise to perform registered work in line with the County's contractor, permit, and building-code requirements — and to repair any damage your work does to public property or county roads.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Rankin County (the obligee). If you violate the ordinance you registered under or damage county property and fail to fix it, the County can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for as long as you're registered. Let it lapse and the County can suspend your registration and your ability to pull permits — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your filing continuous.

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 Rankin County. Submit the executed bond with your contractor registration at the County permit office. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the County insists on the signed original.
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 $100,000. 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.
