Who Needs an Arizona Residential License Bond?

If you're applying for or renewing a residential contractor's license in Arizona, you'll need to secure a bond as part of the licensing process. The Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) requires this to protect consumers from financial loss due to contractor negligence or noncompliance with state laws. Whether you're a general contractor overseeing full home builds or a tradesperson specializing in areas like plumbing, electrical, or HVAC, a bond is a must. Arizona residential license bonds for general and specialty contractors ensure accountability and help you maintain good standing with the ROC

Residential License Bonds

A residential license bond in Arizona is for contractors constructing or repairing residential property. The bond amount is based on filed gross receipts and license type.

Bond amounts are:

  • $9,000 based on gross receipts less than $750,000
  • $15,000 for gross receipts of $750,000 or more

The premium is .5% to 10% of the total cost, with a $50 minimum and pricing increases based on the bond amount. Decisions are based on your personal credit.

You need to purchase a bond for two years to align with your license renewal, and multi-year options carry a 25% discount.

Frequently Asked Questions About Arizona Residential License Bonds

If you're looking into Arizona residential license bonds, you may have questions that go beyond the basics. We've answered some of the most common contractor concerns below to help you feel confident about the process.

Do I need a separate bond for each classification on my Arizona contractor license?

No. Arizona only requires one residential license bond per qualifying party, even if your license covers multiple classifications. The bond amount, however, is based on your total anticipated gross volume, not the number of classifications.

Can I get an Arizona residential contractor license bond with bad credit?

Yes. While credit history can affect your premium, CCIS works with multiple carriers to find bond solutions for contractors with less-than-perfect credit. In most cases, you'll still be able to secure the bond you need.

What happens if my residential license bond lapses?

If your bond lapses, the Arizona Registrar of Contractors may suspend your license until coverage is restored. This can delay your projects and damage your reputation, so it's essential to renew on time.

Is an Arizona residential license bond the same as insurance?

No. A license bond protects the public and the state, not the contractor—it guarantees that you'll follow applicable laws and regulations. It's different from general liability insurance, which protects you from claims related to property damage or injuries.
