How Surety Bond Pricing Works in California

The cost of a surety bond in California depends on the bond amount required and the applicant's credit profile. Most license and permit bonds cost between 1% and 5% of the bond amount annually for applicants with good credit.

For example, a $25,000 bond may cost as little as $250 to $1,250 per year. Applicants with credit challenges may pay higher premiums but can still qualify for most bonds.

Most applications are processed within 24 hours. Many bonds can be approved instantly with no credit check required for smaller bond amounts.
