✅ Why You Need This Bond

The CSLB requires every licensed California contractor to carry a $25,000 surety bond as a condition of obtaining and maintaining their contractor license. Operating without a current bond means your license is suspended — and operating on a suspended license can result in fines up to $15,000 and criminal charges.

FAQ

California Contractor License Bond questions answered

Every contractor who holds or is applying for a California contractor license through the CSLB must carry a $25,000 surety bond. This applies to all license classifications — general contractors (Class A), building contractors (Class B), and specialty contractors (Class C).

Most licensed California contractors with good credit pay $100–$150/year for their $25,000 CSLB bond. With fair credit, expect $150–$300/year. With poor credit, $300–$600/year. We work with multiple sureties to find your best rate.

If your surety bond lapses or is cancelled, the CSLB will suspend your contractor license immediately. You cannot legally work as a contractor with a suspended license. Get your bond renewed before it expires — we'll send you a reminder.

After you receive your bond certificate, your surety company typically files it directly with the CSLB electronically. You can verify your bond status at the CSLB license check tool at cslb.ca.gov.
