Questions about this bond
Can this replace the required financial statement?
Yes. The Board package allows the $300,000 Group 5 bond with an initial or renewal application instead of the required net worth or working capital 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 the Group 5 amount make issuance automatic?
No. Start the provider application for review. Surety issuance and the Board's license decision are separate steps.
What happens after I select Purchase Now?
You continue to the provider in a new tab. Review the applicant, form, amount and effective dates before completing your application. Keep the issued document and deliver it using the requesting party’s instructions; payment alone does not grant a license or permit.
