What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
South Carolina's LLR Residential Builders Commission runs two specialty tiers under Title 40, Chapter 59: a licensed tier requiring a $10,000 bond, and a lower registered tier requiring a $5,000 bond. This page is the registered tier.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee — it stands behind your compliance with Chapter 40-59 and protects homeowners and others harmed by a violation. You (the principal), the surety, and the Commission (obligee) are the three parties, with the public protected.
