What this bond does
Alaska's contractor guidance describes a bond running to the State under AS 08.18.071. Use the requirement for your registration category rather than treating every general contractor as the same applicant.
- Who needs it
- A general contractor registering, renewing or updating contractor credentials in Alaska, using the applicable general contractor category.
- Who it protects
- The State's guidance describes security for specified taxes and contributions, labor, material and equipment obligations, judgments for negligent or improper work or contract breach, and damage to public facilities.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Does every general contractor use $25,000?
The published guidance distinguishes the $20,000 category for a residential-endorsed general contractor doing exclusively residential work. Match your actual category.
Is a new bond always needed for renewal?
The guidance says a continuation certificate can be accepted and that proof of an active bond, rather than a new bond, is needed. Follow the registration instructions.
Does this replace insurance or project bonds?
No. Alaska separately requires insurance documentation, and contract performance or payment security is a distinct obligation. Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab to apply for this bond.
