About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

York County, Virginia issues a local contractor business license, and when that license covers more than one trade, the County sizes the bond to the scope of work. The bond is a public-protection guarantee standing behind your compliance with the County's contractor licensing and permit rules.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and York County (the obligee), with County residents protected. If a multi-trade contractor violates the County ordinance or permit conditions and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount York County sets; premiums start from $100, and no credit check up to $100,000.

York County, VA — local contractor business licenseYork County, Virginia requires this surety bond as a condition of its local contractor business license for work spanning multiple trades; the bond amount is set by the County's business license office (Commissioner of the Revenue) based on the trades your license covers. Confirm the required amount on your York County license application.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with York County. Submit the executed bond to the York County business license office. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the County insists.

What sets the price

The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
