Although most contractors working in Louisiana will need to be licensed by the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors, there is no bonding requirement at the state level. However, it’s common for contractors to need a local license as well, and many local licensing authorities do require the purchase of a contractor license bond (also called a contractor license and permit bond). The required bond amount typically is between $5,000 and $10,000, but it can be higher.
Every contractor must find out what licensing and bonding requirements exist in the jurisdictions where they will be working.
