What Is an Arizona Taxpayer Contractor Bond?

An Arizona Taxpayer Contractor Bond is a surety bond required by the Arizona Department of Revenue for contractors working on taxable projects. This bond ensures the contractor will pay all applicable state taxes, including the Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT), on time and in full.

If a contractor fails to meet their tax obligations, the bond provides a financial safeguard for the state by covering unpaid taxes. The Taxpayer Bond for Arizona contractors helps ensure compliance and protects public funds, especially on large-scale or state-funded construction projects.

Without this bond, contractors may face delays in project approval or licensing.

Who Needs an Arizona Contractor Taxpayer Bond?

Not every contractor in the state needs this bond, but for those working on certain types of projects, it's essential. An Arizona Contractor Taxpayer Bond is typically required when a contractor's gross receipts from a project are subject to Arizona's Transaction Privilege Tax. This often applies to public works and government-funded construction jobs.

You may need this bond if:

• You're a contractor working on certain public works projects in Arizona
• Your project is subject to the state's TPT requirements
• You're a new contractor or an out-of-state contractor without a principal business location in Arizona
• You've been directed by the Arizona Department of Revenue to secure the bond
• Your past tax history has raised compliance concerns

Having the bond in place ensures you stay compliant with state tax laws and avoid potential penalties or licensing delays.

How the Bond Works

An Arizona Taxpayer Contractor Bond is a three-party agreement that holds contractors financially accountable for paying state taxes tied to their projects. Here’s how it functions:

• Principal – The contractor who purchases the bond and agrees to comply with Arizona tax laws
• Obligee – The Arizona Department of Revenue, which requires the bond as a condition of tax compliance
• Surety – The bonding company that guarantees payment if the contractor fails to meet tax obligations

If the contractor neglects to pay the required taxes, the Department of Revenue can file a claim against the bond. If the claim is validated, the surety pays the owed amount to the state and then seeks reimbursement from the contractor.

Arizona Taxpayer Bond Amounts and Costs

The amount of an Arizona Taxpayer Bond depends on various factors. Larger projects generally require a larger bond. The Arizona Department of Revenue determines the required bond amount.

While bond amounts vary, contractors can expect to pay a premium, usually between 1% and 3% of the total bond value. For example, a $25,000 bond might cost as little as $250 annually for well-qualified applicants.

Several factors influence the final cost, including the:

• Contract's gross value
• Land value in the contract
• Overall volume of work
