How Much Does a Tennessee Surety Bond Cost?
A Tennessee surety bond costs between $250 and $100,000, depending on the trade. The required bond amount for a contractor license, for example, may be up to $1 million. The bond amount for a Tennessee auto dealer is $50,000.
Rather than pay the full amount of the required bond, you can purchase your bond at a premium rate from an authorized Tennessee surety company. The premium rate is 1% to 10% of the mandated bond amount. The rate is based on multiple factors, including the applicant’s credit, assets and experience.
Surety bond applicants who have a 700 credit score or better will receive a 1% to 3% premium rate. With a credit score of 600 to 699, the bond premium rate will be 3% to 5%. A 5% to 10% rate applies for a credit score of 599 or lower.
