California Contractors Disciplinary Bonds are a type of surety bond that is required for contractors that have had their license revoked due to a violation of the state’s contractor's license law.
These bonds are required by the California Contractors State License Board of the Department of Consumer Affairs (CSLB). They are put in place in addition to the standard contractor’s license bond required by all California contractors.
The purpose of the disciplinary bond is to ensure that the Principal adheres to the provisions of Section 7000 of the California Business and Professions Code.
According to Section 7071.8 of the California Business and Professions Code, the following people need to get a contractor’s disciplinary bond in the State of California:
The California Business & Professions Code 7071.8 states that the minimum amount needed for a California Contractors Disciplinary Bond is $15,000. The exact amount varies depending on the nature and severity of the contractor’s violation.
The California Registrar decides the penalty amount on a case-by-case basis. They also determine the length of the bond term.
After the Registrar determines the required amount for a disciplinary bond, how much you need to pay to get the bond is determined by the same factors impacting the cost of the standard contractor’s license bond.
The most important are your credit history, financial standing, and work experience. The surety company will review these qualifications before issuing you a premium for the bond.
Premiums for contractor’s disciplinary bonds can range from a few percent to over 10% for less qualified contractors.
