This page is general information, not legal advice. Bond amounts are set by City of Mobile, and every application is reviewed before a bond is issued. See our disclaimer.

Which trade needs which bond

Mobile bonds general and building contractors along with electrical, plumbing, mechanical, heating and air conditioning, demolition and sign contractors. Several trades come in two forms: a compliance bond and a third-party liability bond. Your license paperwork from the city says which form it needs, so match that wording when you choose below.

What the bond does

The bond is payable to the City of Mobile. A compliance bond backs your promise to follow city codes and license rules. A third-party liability bond also lets a member of the public recover a loss caused by your work. Either way, the contractor repays the surety for any claim it pays.

How to apply

Choose your trade above, enter your business and contact details, and you go straight to the secure application. City of Mobile sets the required amount, confirmed after review, so check the current figure with the city before you file.
