What this bond does
Supply the accepted County building-contractor licensing security, separate from State home-builder registration or MHIC credentials.
- Who needs it
- Building contractors applying to the County Building Official and confirming the Board's approved bonding requirements.
- Who it protects
- The County describes security for work conforming to County and State code/law. The County or a person damaged by the contractor's failure may proceed against it; this is not automatically a separate project's performance/payment guarantee.

Questions about this bond
What amount does the County bonding page specify?
It describes an amount recommended by the Building Board and approved by the County Commissioners, without a numeric figure. Obtain the actual approved request before applying.
Does any builders' association membership satisfy bonding?
No. The described alternative requires an organized program approved by the Board that affords the specified public protection.
Is State registration the same as County license issuance?
No. The County describes its own application, bonding and qualification review as well as separate State credentials. Provider purchase does not complete either government process.
