What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor bond guarantees
Oklahoma licenses the building trades through the Construction Industries Board (CIB), which administers the mechanical, plumbing, and electrical licenses. As a condition of those licenses, a contractor files a $5,000 surety bond running to the Board.
The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work being done in accordance with Oklahoma's codes, rules, and regulations for the trade. If a licensed contractor violates those requirements and the Board or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.
Several Oklahoma municipalities use the same $5,000 figure for local trade licenses — sign contractors, certain building trades — running to the city rather than the state. It is a three-party guarantee: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. At $5,000, our carrier's rate book prices it at $100 flat.
