Questions about this bond
Is this a performance bond for a city construction contract?
No. This product concerns contractor licensing. A project contract may require separate performance and payment security.
Does it issue an Alabama general contractor license?
No. State credentials and the city's local authorization are separate requirements.
Should the business's trade name be included?
Use the legal applicant and any required trade name exactly as they appear in the licensing paperwork.
What do I do after the bond is issued?
Check the business name, recipient, amount and dates against the city's request. Send the issued document to the office handling your license; buying it does not complete the city's licensing approval.
