Which surety bond do you need in the Antelope Valley?

"Surety bond" covers several different products, and the Antelope Valley contractors usually need more than one over the life of a business. This page is the starting point for all of them.

  • The $25,000 contractor license bond. Required of every CSLB-licensed contractor under BPC §7071.6, statewide and continuously. See the contractor license bond guide for what it covers and what it costs.
  • Bid, performance, and payment bonds. Project-specific bonds for public and larger private work. These are underwritten on your financials rather than sold off the shelf. See contract bonds.
  • Commercial and specialty bonds. Notary, auto dealer, freight broker, probate, permit, and dozens more across commercial bonds.
  • Hard-to-place files. Bad credit, a prior claim, a tax lien, or a business formed last month. We place these where automated sites decline. See hard-to-place surety bonds.

Do solar and aerospace facility contractors in the Antelope Valley need bonding?
The license requirement is the same $25,000 CSLB bond across the electrical, solar, and general trades.
