What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Utah licenses contractors through the Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) under the Construction Trades Licensing Act, and conditions the license on a surety bond. For specialty contractor classifications — the trade classifications other than the general B100, E100, and R100 categories — the required bond amount is $15,000.
The bond is a license bond: it guarantees you operate within your licensed classification and comply with the Construction Trades Licensing Act and DOPL rules. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Utah through DOPL (the obligee).
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must be maintained throughout licensure until DOPL gives written permission to discontinue it. Note that DOPL can require a higher amount if an applicant’s financial, criminal, or disciplinary history warrants it.
