What the out-of-state contractor bond covers
Tennessee counties may require a contractor based outside the state to post a bond before working locally, guaranteeing the local taxes and fees owed on the project. Knox County conditions out-of-state contractor work on such a bond so the County is not left chasing taxes after a contractor has left the area.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Knox County (the obligee). If an out-of-state contractor fails to pay the local taxes and fees tied to the project, the County can recover against the bond.
The County sets the amount based on the project and the taxes at stake. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount Knox County set at a flat 3% with no credit check.
