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 from $100, and no credit check up to $100,000.

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.
