What this bond does
Provide the bond-route financial-responsibility evidence for the organization's Dwelling Contractor credential.
- Who needs it
- A contracting business applying through its owner, partner, chairman or chief executive, using the correct business name and organization account.
- Who it protects
- The two permitted evidence routes do not make a surety bond the same contract as liability insurance. Get the accepted bond instrument to identify its named recipient, covered claims and dates; the credential page alone does not reproduce those terms.

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.
