Overview of San Francisco surety bonds
Your San Francisco surety bond works like a three-party contract. You are the principal who needs a bond to meet certain legal requirements. The authority that requires it is the obligee. The surety is the third entity that provides the bond.
While license bonds are the bonds you’re likely to need most often, there are other types you should know of. If you are a construction specialist, you may need contract bonds to bid on projects. Performance bonds, for example, may be required of you by the San Francisco City and County Administration.
Other common types of bonds you may need are court bonds. If you have to take role of a fiduciary, or want to appeal a court case to a higher instance, you will need to post such a bond.
The purpose of surety bonds is to guarantee your legal compliance. They ensure a proper reimbursement to affected parties if you transgress from the law through bond claims.

Questions about Surety Bonds in San Francisco, California
How much does getting bonded cost?
Your bond price depends on the bond amount that you have to present to official bodies. However, you need to cover only a fraction of this amount, called the bond premium. It often is a few percents of the required amount. For applicants with good finances, the common bonding rates are between 1% and 5%. The percentage also varies between bond types.
But how exactly is your bond cost set? Your surety needs to examine your personal credit score, business finances, plus any liquidity and assets you may showcase. That’s how it assesses the level of risk associated with bonding you. Your bond price will be lower if your profile is stable.
Make sure to consult our surety bond cost page for further details on the bond price formation.
