Connecticut Surety Bonds

Surety Bond Requirements in CT

The state of Connecticut requires various business types to post surety bonds in order to protect their customers. Auto dealers, motor vehicle leasing/rental companies, mortgage brokers, and collection agencies are just a few of the professionals who must be bonded in CT.

While liability amounts are fixed for most bonds, there are some that vary. For example, the size of mortgage broker bonds is tied to the number of loans the broker originated. There are also hundreds of bonds required by cities and townships in Connecticut, in addition to state-mandated bonds.

To make sure you are in compliance with CT bonding regulations, talk to NNA Surety Bonds. We have been providing affordable surety bond solutions to companies and individuals across the United States since 1957.
