There is no statewide licensing and bonding requirement in Louisiana, but contractor license bonds may be required by certain local jurisdictions. Louisiana’s “Little Miller Act” requires bid bonds, performance bonds and payment bonds for public and private construction projects valued above $5,000. However, bond requirements may be waived for projects under $50,000.
Other construction bonds that may be required by both public and private project owners include:
- Maintenance bonds
- Subdivision/site improvement bonds
- Supply bonds
- Solar decommissioning bonds
- Right of Way bonds
- Contractor license bond
