State Contractor License Bonds
The Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board requires all commercial contractors to obtain and maintain a $10,000 contractor’s license bond in order to be issued a license to operate within the state. In addition, some municipalities impose other bonding requirements. The contractor pays a premium based on a percentage of the total bond amount.
All forms of contractor bonds provide financial protection for the state and/or other parties that suffer financial loss due to the contractor’s actions. The bond guarantees that the contractor will abide by all applicable rules and regulations and act in an honest and ethical manner.
