What this bond does
The disciplinary bond supports reinstatement, reissuance or a new license after covered contractor licensing violations. It is an additional licensing condition rather than a replacement for existing required bonds.
- Who needs it
- California contractors directed by CSLB to file disciplinary security following a licensing violation.
- Who it protects
- CSLB requires this security in connection with the disciplined contractor's return to licensed operation. The approved form and applicable law define the protected claims and beneficiaries.

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
Can it replace the ordinary contractor bond?
No. CSLB requires it in addition to other bonds and says it cannot be combined with them.
Who sets the amount?
The registrar sets it based on the violation within the board's stated minimum and maximum.
Does two calendar years always satisfy the requirement?
No. CSLB can require longer, and inactive or suspended license periods can extend the maintenance requirement.
Does purchase automatically reinstate the license?
No. Complete all CSLB reinstatement or licensing conditions and confirm the license status before operating.
