What the home improvement bond actually guarantees
Rockland County regulates home improvement contractors through its Department of Consumer Protection / Weights & Measures, which is dedicated to protecting the public from unlicensed contractors, fraud, and unfair practices. As part of licensing, the County can require a contractor to post a surety bond.
The bond is a homeowner-protection guarantee: if you default on a contract, it assures that the advance payments made — less the reasonable value of work actually performed — or the reasonable cost of completing the work are refunded or covered for the homeowner. It is approved as to form by the County Attorney and written by a surety authorized in New York.
It is a three-party arrangement between you (the principal), the surety, and Rockland County (the obligee), with the homeowner as the protected party. We issue the amount the County set, at a flat 3% with no credit check, and track renewals so your license filing stays continuous.
