Ohio Surety Bonds
Surety Bond Requirements in OH
In order to be properly licensed, many professionals, contract workers, and companies doing business in Ohio are required by state, county, or city regulatory authorities to maintain surety bond coverage. For example, general contractors, mortgage brokers, public adjusters, and title agents must have surety bonds in the Buckeye State.
Except for contractor license bonds, bond coverage amounts in Ohio are set by the state commerce department and state insurance department. Bonds for contractor licenses are set at the local level and differ widely in size depending on the city or county in which the work is done.
No matter where you work in Ohio, if you need a bond policy to comply with licensing regulations, we can help. NNA Surety Bonds has been providing affordable coverage to companies and individuals across the United States since 1957.
We offer the following surety bonds in the state of Ohio:
Contractor License Bond
There is no state-wide licensing for general contractors and home improvement contractors in Ohio. Instead, licensing is handled on the local level by cities, counties, and other organizations (such as the Turnpike Commission). Therefore, as a general contractor, you will face great variation in bonding costs, with coverage amounts generally ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. Your annual premium cost could be as low as $100 in some areas.
