What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
North Carolina licenses irrigation contractors — those who design, install, or repair irrigation systems — through the NC Irrigation Contractors Licensing Board (NCICLB) under Chapter 89G. The license is conditioned on a $10,000 financial guarantee.
Under G.S. 89G-6, a contractor must file a $10,000 surety bond (or an irrevocable letter of credit, or a cash deposit) before being licensed. The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the irrigation licensing law and protects customers harmed by a violation.
The Board requires the signed original bond and power of attorney, and the bond must stay continuous for the life of your license. The surety bond at $300 a year is far cheaper than tying up $10,000 in a cash deposit or letter of credit. We write it with no credit check and track your renewal.
