What is a contractor disciplinary bond?
It is a bond a licensing board requires from a contractor after a disciplinary matter, on top of the regular license bond.
The board notice tells you the bond, the amount, and the deadline. That notice is the thing to work from, not advice from the job site.
How much is a California disciplinary bond?
The California disciplinary bond amount is $25,000. It moved to that amount on January 1, 2023 under Senate Bill 607, along with the contractor license bond and the bond of qualifying individual.
That is the bond size. Your premium depends on the file, and we quote it on the phone.
