How Much Does a Connecticut Surety Bond Cost?

A Connecticut surety bond costs between $150 and $15,000. Bond requirements vary by trade. A consumer collection agency, for example, must have a bond of $50,000, and an auto dealer needs a $60,000 bond.

You can purchase your required bond from an authorized surety company in Connecticut at a premium rate. The premium rate is between 1% and 10% of the bond amount. The applicant’s professional experience, financial assets and credit are analyzed to determine a specific premium rate. 

The premium on your Connecticut surety bond will be between 1% and 3% with a credit score of 700 or better. The premium rate will be 3% to 5% if your credit score falls between 600 and 699. A 5% to 10% premium applies if your score is 599 or below.
