State Contractors – North Carolina

Licensed North Carolina state contractors are regulated by the Board for General Contractors.

The Board provides a pdf printout of the laws and regulations for contractors operating in the state.

For those who require it, the contractor license bond is in one of 3 dollar amounts, all of which are provided for you by AmeriPro Surety Bonds.

North Carolina State Contractor Bond: The Amount of Surety Bond Required

• North Carolina contractors with a limited license must furnish the Department with evidence of a $350,000 surety bond;
• Intermediate licensees must obtain a $1,000,000 surety bond;
• Contractors with an unlimited license must obtain a $2,000,000 North Carolina state contractor bond.

Furthermore, according to North Carolina law, this surety bond amount is in addition to, not in replacement of, any other surety bonds required of you as a contractor.

The Premium or Cost for these Surety Bond Amounts

Because the surety bond amounts for even the smallest of these surety bonds is still quite large, the application process will be detailed with plenty of questions (particularly as it relates to financial matters) and may take a few days to complete (see below).

Besides information learned from you in your application, there will also be a credit report.

Since there are so many variables – application and credit --- the amount that you will be required to pay may vary substantially.

As a very general and broad rule, for applicants who are well-qualified, the surety bond premium for each of these amounts may be as little as 2% annually --- this comes to $7,000 for the $350,000 surety bond; $20,000 for the $1,000,000 surety bond; and $40,000 for the $2,000,000 surety bond.

We hasten to add that the amount may vary, and AmeriPro Surety Bonds will always work to find you the best surety bond pricing.

Premium financing may also be available for applicants who qualify for this surety bond.
