Which surety bond do you need in Downey?
"Surety bond" covers several different products, and Downey 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.
