What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor bond actually guarantees
Lincoln County registers contractors who work in the unincorporated County and conditions that registration on a contractor license bond. The bond is a code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the County's building code, permit conditions, and contractor registration rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Lincoln County (the obligee). If a contractor violates the County code or leaves permitted work unfinished or non-compliant, the County or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who work to code treat the bond as a registration formality. We issue the County's amount at a flat 3% with one soft credit pull.
