costs

Ohio Surety Bonds Prices

Surety bond costs vary by bond type, bond requirement, amount needed, credit score or business history, credit risk rating / credit rating, and business history. Most licensed and permitted bonds are priced as a lesser fraction of the quantity, 1-10 % of the total amount of bond. Good credit typically translates into lower rates; bad credit can add to costs. Construction bonds and court bonds might add new layers of financial scrutiny. Some of them are state-controlled; others are a function of the agency or project.

Ohio Surety Bond FAQ

What bond amount do I need?

The required bond amount is set by the state or local agency. Check your license or permit application for the exact figure.

How long is my surety bond valid?

Ohio’s surety bonds last only a year but some can last a few years. Renewal is a matter which is usually required to keep your license or permit running.

How do I obtain a surety bond with bad credit?

Yes, Surety Bonds Agent works with applicants of all credit types. If bad credit is a factor, the cost of your surety bond might be affected; but approval is still a possibility.

Who are the parties to a surety bond?

Every bond consists of three persons: you (or the principal), the agency or company requesting the bond (or the obligee), and the surety bond company.

How quick can I receive my surety bond?

Most bonds are backed by approval and issued on the same day. If additional paperwork is required, some contracts or court bonds can take longer.

What are the requirements for a surety bond in Ohio?

Ohio surety bond requirements depend on your license type, business, and the agency involved. Most require a completed application and sometimes financial statements.

What happens if I do not fulfill the contract?

If you do not keep your end of the bargain, the obligee is able to make a claim. The surety pays valid claims, then seeks reimbursement from you.
