Questions about this bond
Can this replace the required financial statement?
Yes. Section 40-11-262 allows a Group 1 applicant to provide the $7,000 bond instead of the required net worth or working capital financial statement.
Is this the same as a project performance bond?
Check whether the request concerns your ongoing license, permission for a particular site, or performance of a contract. Bring the trade classification for a license request and the contract or permit for project security. A license bond does not automatically secure completion or payment on every job.
Does this replace every project bond?
No. The package expressly preserves other bonds required by law, regulation or contract. This is the financial qualification alternative for Group 1 licensing.
