South Carolina Contractor License Bonds

All individuals or businesses that act as general contractors in the State of South Carolina who do not meet the net worth requirements are required to have a South Carolina Contractor License. A general contractor is defined by the state as “an entity which performs or supervises or offers to perform or supervise general construction.” Any contractor completing the licensing process will need to purchase the bond.

A claim can be filed when the bonded party, the general contractor, has not complied with applicable state regulations. This can include anything from not building up to code, destruction of property, fraud, or other criminal offenses. Anyone who has been financially impacted by the non-compliance can make the claim against the bond. The surety agency will investigate and determine if the claim is legitimate.

Well-qualified applicants with strong financial credentials could qualify to pay as low as 1% of the required bond amount. The bond amount required varies depending on the type of contract work. For instance, an HVAC technician, plumber, or electrician needs a larger bond amount than a general carpenter or painter.
