What exactly is a bond?

A contractor has an obligation not to commit any violation of contractor license law that is grounds for disciplinary action against the license. If the contractor does not comply with the conditions of the law, a claim can be filed against his bond with the surety company. Claims against a surety company may be filed by homeowners, any person damaged by a willful and deliberate violation of a construction contract, employees damaged by the contractor's failure to pay wages, or an express fund damaged as a result of the contractor's failure to pay fringe benefits for eligible employees. (A court case has held the express trust fund provision superseded by federal law.)
