Ours is $100 flat — the price our carrier sets for this specific bond, the same for every Greensboro contractor. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A City of Greensboro contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the city. It stands behind your agreement to follow Greensboro's building, permitting, and contractor-registration rules while you work inside the city.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Greensboro (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor ordinance or leave permitted work in a state that harms the public, the city 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 follow the city's code and close out their permits treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
