The three main categories of surety bonds required in Massachusetts are contractor and construction bonds, license and permit bonds, and court bonds. There are other types of bonds, but these are the ones that are most commonly needed.
Contractors are generally required to obtain a contractor license bond as part of the process of becoming licensed by the Massachusetts State Board of Building Regulations and Standards. Contractors are also typically required to purchase other types of construction surety bonds in order to bid, win, or work on public works projects.
Required bonds for your project may include bid bonds, performance and payment bonds, supply bonds, and others. In Massachusetts, these bond requirements are established by various municipalities rather than at the state level. The bonds guarantee that the contractor will comply with all applicable rules, regulations, and standards and will fulfill all of their contractual obligations.
At Surety Bond Professionals, construction surety is our specialty. Our knowledgeable agents are on standby to help with all of your bonding needs.
