What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A contractor license bond is a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee. Fairfield County conditions your contractor license on it so the county, and residents who hire you, have a financial backstop that you'll follow the county's building and contractor rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and Fairfield County (the obligee), with residents and the county as the protected parties. If you violate the contractor ordinance or leave damage to public property unpaid, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your $10,000 filing with the County stays continuous.
