What this bond does
Prepare the surety document for the applicable contractor registration file with Orlando's Permitting Services Division.
- Who needs it
- State-registered or limited specialty contractors whose City of Orlando registration instructions call for a surety bond.
- Who it protects
- This is security for the requested licensing or registration obligation, not an insurance certificate or a guarantee of permit approval. Use the city's accepted surety form for the conditions it secures.

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.

- Keep the city registration credentials, business tax receipt and workers' compensation evidence distinct from the RLI application.
- Confirm the current submission route, document format and any continuation requirements.
Questions about this bond
Does city registration make every contractor state-registered?
No. Orlando's page separates state-certified credentials from the additional surety instructions for state-registered and limited specialty contractors. Use your actual credential and the city's directions for it.
Is every Orlando contractor bond $5,000?
No. The page gives different minimums for state-regulated and non-state-regulated specialty work. Confirm the applicable amount for your registration file. The existing RLI option does not publish an amount or term here.
Is this the right bond for restoring a public street after construction?
Not automatically. Orlando also posts a separate Construction Bond addressing public right-of-way restoration under development permits. Match the licensing request before purchasing; a construction or restoration request needs its own instrument.
