Before a contractor can receive a contractor's license in California, the contractor must register with the California Contractors State License Board and pay a Contractor's License Bond or a cash credit. In the event of a contractor's license getting suspended or annulled due to a breach of the Contractors License Law, the contractor must file a disciplinary bond with the CSLB. This has to be to get a contractor's license restored or reissued or if an individual desires to obtain a fresh license. Disciplinary Bonds can go as high as $15,000, but can be bigger and the bond must be on record with the CSLB for two years minimum, and occasionally for a greater length of time. All Contractor License Bonds must be implemented by an authorized surety company, in a manner up to the required standard of the CSLB and suitable to the State of California. License and Permit Bonds are compulsory as a precondition to attaining a license or permit for a specific job, enterprise or occupation.

Normally, a License or Permit Bond necessitates that the principal fulfill the laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding that specific license or permit.

Miscellaneous Bonds are sometimes put on paper to ensure some sort of financial or indemnity compulsion, or to warrant the loyalty of an individual. To grasp the specific bond obligation, it is indispensable to analyze the regulation or contract from which the bond initiated, in conjunction with the language of the bond form itself. |
