Who Requires the Contractor License or Permit Bond and Why Is It Needed?
The Alabama state boards governing heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, residential roofing and plumbing or gas fitting contractors, created by the provisions of Code of Alabama 1975,34-31-18, Et. Seq., require contractors to furnish surety bonds in the amount of ten thousand or fifteen thousand dollars. The bonds are conditioned upon the contractors faithful compliance with all ordinances and laws of the State of Alabama and any municipality or county of the state where the bonded principal engages in related work.
In addition to the state contractor bond requirements, many cities and counties also have bonding requirements including Birmingham, Dothan, Montgomery, Jefferson, Auburn, Chickasaw, Eufaula, Gulf Shores, Mobile, Mountain Brook, Opelika, Prichard, Saraland, and Satsuma.
