Most Popular Surety Bonds in Vermont

Vermont Surety Bonds Explained

Many people are confused when it comes to surety bonds. They are a regulatory requirement, which many businesses need to satisfy before they are allowed to obtain a license or permit in Vermont.

A typical surety bond agreement involves three sides: a principal, an obligee, and a surety. The principal is the side which obtains the bond as mandated by the obligee. The surety is a bonding company, which underwrites the bond and assumes legal responsibility for the actions of the principal.

Questions about Surety Bonds in Vermont

Who needs a Vermont surety bond?

There are different circumstances under which someone might have to post a surety bond in the state of Vermont. Let’s take a look at the three main surety bonds categories:

  • License bonds are required from different businesses. Without a license bond they can’t apply for a business license or permit. The purpose of these bonds is to safeguard the interests of consumers.

  • Contract bonds are often required during both public and private construction projects. They ensure that contractors complete the project as described in the contract.

  • Court bonds are required from individuals appointed as fiduciaries or guardians by a court, to ensure that they serve the interests of the parties they represent. Appealing a court ruling may also require a court bond.

How much does a Vermont surety bond cost?

То calculate your bonding cost, you need first to know the total bond amount of your surety bond. Each surety bond has a total bond amount set by the state. It refers to the maximum penal sum, i.e. what a claimant can get if their claim is proven.

Once you know the total bond amount required, you can get a rough estimate of your bond premium. For good credit applicants it is usually in the range of 1% - 4% of the total amount.

For more detailed information, read our What Does a Surety Bond Cost? page.

Bad Credit Surety Bonds in Vermont

Some bonding underwriters may be less willing to underwrite surety bonds for applicants with bad credit, because they consider them high-risk. After all, if a principal triggers a claim, the bonding company is also legally responsible.

However, for most types of bonds, applicants can still get bonded through our Bad Credit Surety Bonds Program. We do our best to get your application approved despite your credit issues. Bond premiums usually vary between 5% and 15%
