What this bond does

The bond supports the residential specialty contractor license filed with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. It is not the residential general schedule, a dual commercial component or a separate project performance bond.

Who needs it
Businesses whose ROC application identifies a residential specialty classification and the applicable anticipated annual gross volume band.
Who it protects
The ROC form names the State of Arizona for the benefit of people described by A.R.S. §32-1152. The license classification and statutory conditions determine the security, not a blanket promise that every residential loss is covered.

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.

Check the $375,000 threshold carefully

The lower residential specialty band applies below $375,000; the $7,500 amount applies at $375,000 or more. Use anticipated annual gross volume per license rather than only the next home's contract value.

Residential general contractors have a different threshold and amounts. A larger bond chosen from that other schedule does not replace checking the classification and form requested by ROC.

Use the business as the principal

ROC says the license belongs to the business, not the qualifying party. Use the legal applicant name and any DBA consistently instead of naming only the person who qualifies the license.

Keep the exact residential specialty designation on the document. If the application is actually specialty dual, it also needs the commercial component; residential-only figures do not establish the full dual requirement.

Complete issuance and ROC filing as separate steps

Purchase Now opens RLI in a new tab. Apply with the classification, required amount and business identity, then check the issued form and execution.

Follow ROC's filing instructions and confirm the provider or applicant upload route. The state also lists a separate Residential Recovery Fund requirement; this license bond purchase does not establish that every residential licensing requirement is complete.

Sources

Have these ready

  1. Have the exact residential specialty classification from the ROC file.
  2. Determine whether anticipated annual gross volume is below $375,000 or at least that amount.
  3. Use the licensed business name and any DBA, not only the qualifying person's name.
  4. Check execution and ROC filing while keeping the separate Recovery Fund requirement distinct.

Questions about this bond

Which amount applies at exactly $375,000?

ROC's residential specialty table places $375,000 or more in the $7,500 band. The $4,250 band is for less than $375,000.

Should the qualifying person be named instead of the business?

ROC says the license belongs to the business. Match the principal identity to the applicant business and any DBA, rather than substituting only the qualifying person's name.

Does this satisfy a specialty dual bond?

Not by itself. A dual bond must show the required commercial and residential sums for its classification. Confirm the actual designation before applying.
