What is an Oklahoma contractor license bond? 

Oklahoma Statutes Section 158:50-5-3 requires individuals to file a surety bond before being licensed to work as a contractor. The term “Oklahoma contractor license bond” generally refers to various individual contractor bonds required for state or city licensing compliance. Depending on where you work and the type of construction work you do, you might need an electrical, mechanical, or plumbing contractor bond in addition to a general contractor license bond. 

How does an Oklahoma contractor license bond work? 

Each Oklahoma surety bond form has its own terms for the protection offered. Contractor bonds are generally used to protect consumers and the state from contractors and construction companies that fail to work as required for licensing compliance. They typically prohibit fraud and require contractors to complete projects as agreed upon by all parties. 

Why is it important for a contractor to be bonded? 

By filing a surety bond, contractors agree to fulfill professional obligations outlined in the state or local laws when operating their construction business. If they fail to do so, the issuing surety company will pay valid claims filed by harmed individuals up to the full bond amount. The licensed and bonded contractor must then reimburse the surety company for any claims paid. 

Who regulates licensing for contractors? 

The Oklahoma Construction Industries Board enforces licensing requirements for resident contractors at the state level. If you have questions about state licensing or bonding requirements or the status of your license, you can call the CIB at 1 (405) 521-6550 or submit an online form. If you're not an Oklahoma resident, the Oklahoma Tax Commission requires a separate nonresident contractor bond for projects more than $100,000.

Some cities in the state also enforce their own additional contractor bond requirements. If you work in one these cities, you must file an additional bond with the city to fulfill local licensing compliance. If you need a surety bond for a city not listed below, call 1 (800) 308-4358.

Need a surety bond for a construction project in Oklahoma?

How do I update or change my contractor surety bond form?

How do I renew my Oklahoma contractor bond? 

You must renew your Oklahoma surety bond before its current term expires to maintain your active contractor license. Once you pay your SuretyBonds.com renewal invoice, renewal instructions will be emailed to you. You must maintain an active bond on file with your licensing authority as long as you're actively licensed to work.
