Section 40-11-260 sets the license groups and their minimum net worth or working capital; Section 40-11-262 lets an applicant file a surety bond in the same amount as the net worth for the applicant’s license group in place of a financial statement. Under the table now in force, the general contractor bond requirement is $20,000 for Group One (bid limit $100,000), $60,000 for Group Two ($400,000), $150,000 for Group Three ($1,000,000), $250,000 for Group Four ($3,000,000), and $350,000 for Group Five (unlimited). The $80,000 amount on this page does not match any group’s current net-worth figure — Section 40-11-262 also lets the Board require an increased bond after a finding of a violation, and some contractors carry $80,000 from a filing made before their group’s current figure. Confirm the amount on your Board correspondence before you buy — if your renewal calls for $60,000, buy the $60,000 Group 2 bond linked below instead.
