Arizona — Contractor License (Residential Only) Bond

Arizona residential-only license bonds use different schedules for general and specialty contractors. Match the ROC classification and anticipated annual gross volume before selecting Purchase Now to apply through Propeller. A residential license bond is separate from the state's Residential Recovery Fund requirement.

What this bond does

The bond supports the business's residential contractor license with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. It does not itself authorize commercial contracting or replace security requested for one construction project.

Who needs it
Arizona residential-only applicants or licensees preparing the bond for their general or specialty contractor classification.
Who it protects
The ROC bond form names the State of Arizona for the benefit of people described by A.R.S. §32-1152. The statutory license conditions define that protection; this is not the contractor's liability insurance.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

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.

Use the right residential schedule

ROC lists $9,000 for residential general contractors with anticipated annual gross volume below $750,000 and $15,000 at $750,000 or more.

Residential specialty uses a different threshold: $4,250 below $375,000 and $7,500 at $375,000 or more. Confirm the classification on your application rather than using a general-contractor amount simply because the work is on a home.

Do not combine different residential obligations

ROC lists a separate Residential Recovery Fund requirement in addition to the license bond. This offering is the residential-only license bond, not evidence that the other requirement has been satisfied.

If your ROC classification is dual, it also has a commercial bond component. A residential-only amount does not establish compliance for a dual license.

Check the business and filing after issuance

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Use the licensed business name, any DBA, exact residential classification and amount from the applicable volume band.

Review the issued form and execution, then complete the filing required by ROC. The agency describes provider upload for participating sureties and manual upload for others; confirm your route rather than assuming checkout completes it.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Identify residential general or specialty from the ROC application.
  2. Use the relevant anticipated annual gross volume threshold and required amount.
  3. Keep the separate Residential Recovery Fund requirement distinct from this license bond.
  4. Review the business identity and execution and confirm the ROC filing route.

Questions about this bond

Does all residential work use the $9,000 amount?

No. That is the lower residential general band. Residential specialty has its own amounts, and both schedules increase at their respective volume thresholds.

Is this the Residential Recovery Fund requirement?

No. ROC identifies that as separate from the contractor license bond. Do not use this purchase as proof that both obligations are complete.

Can I use this for a dual license?

A dual bond must identify both residential and commercial penal sums. Check the actual classification and request instead of treating a residential-only offering as a combined license bond.
