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

Which trade needs which bond

Orlando licenses each construction trade separately, and each license carries its own bond. An electrician needs the electrical contractor bond; a roofer needs the roofing contractor bond; a low-voltage or alarm installer needs the matching low-voltage or alarm bond. The bond you need is the one your city license names.

What the bond does

The bond runs to the City of Orlando and protects the public, not the contractor. If a contractor violates a city building code or ordinance and causes a loss, a claim can be paid against the bond. The contractor then repays the surety. It is a license condition, not personal coverage for the contractor.

How to apply

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