Why Is the Contractor License Bond Required in the City of Chickasaw?

The City of Chickasaw requires the Contractor License Bond so that it may be used as a tool of protection by the city itself, as well as the licensee’s past or present customers in cases where the contractor has caused damage(s). 

For example, a City of Chickasaw resident may hire a licensed contractor for some electrical work on their home. The contractor says they have finished the job and they have been paid for such work, but the customer later finds that the contractor actually caused more damage than repair. If the contractor refuses to return and fix the damage they caused, the resident can file a claim on the contractor’s bond to cover the cost of repairs. The Contractor License Bond is ultimately required to protect the licensee’s customers from financial loss.

How Does a Licensee Avoid Contractor License Bond Claims in the City of Chickasaw?

The City of Chickasaw expects all applicable contractors to abide by the regulations found in Chapters 11, 19, and 45 of the Mobile, Alabama Code of Ordinances and the terms of their license. Reviewing these rules and the standards to be met is the best way to avoid bond claims. Failure to comply may result in large fines, a loss of license, and civil action that could result in a bond claim. 

The City of Chickasaw is obligated to look into any complaints made from past or present customers of the contractor; they may also begin an investigation upon their own accord. If an issue is found, the contractor is expected to resolve the violation or face disciplinary action on their license and other possible civil penalties. 

Upon the likely recommendation from the city, the damaged party may take civil action against the contractor. If a court rules in favor of the claimant, the contractor’s bond will cover such damages up to the bond limit. It is in the licensee’s best interest to resolve any issues before a loss of license and a pricey bond claim occurs. 

What Happens if I Get a Contractor License Bond Claim?

Immediately contact Jet upon receiving a Contractor License Bond claim notification! A member of the Jet team will brief you on how our claim process works, and a review of all available claim information will begin.

If the claim is found to be legitimate, Jet Insurance Company is legally obligated by the surety bond’s terms to make payment up to the bond limit. It is important to point out that the licensee is ultimately responsible for their actions and must reimburse Jet for the paid out claim. 

Failure to fulfill payment will lead to future difficulties obtaining a surety bond in Alabama, especially another Contractor License Bond in the City of Chickasaw. Without a way to fulfill the bonding requirement, the contractor will lose their license and the opportunity to work within the city. 

Are There Other Bonds That a Contractor Needs in Alabama?

Yes, the State of Alabama Board of Heating and Air Conditioning Contractors requires a $15,000 Heating and Air Conditioning and/or Refrigeration Contractor Bond for HVAC contractors, and the State of Alabama Home Builders Licensure Board requires a $10,000 Residential Roofers Bond for residential roofer contractors.
