Nassau County, Florida License and Permit Bonds
A need for new construction has increased within the Nassau County area due to an influx of tourism to its various charming and historical beach towns.
If you are one of the many contractors seeking construction bids within the county, the Building Department requires a Certified Contractor License with the county and a $2,000 Contractor License Bond before any work may begin. A surety bond is a financial tool used by Nassau County to protect itself and its constituents from certain damages a contractor may cause.
In addition, land developers or the contractor hired on their behalf may be required by the Engineering Services Department to obtain a Right-of-Way Permit Bond and/or Right-of-Way Maintenance Bond as a prerequisite to being issued a right-of-way utility permit.
At Jet, contractors may purchase the $2,000 Contractor License Bond for the guaranteed price of $100 for a one-year bond term.
| Bond Limit | Cost |
|---|---|
| 1 Year | $100 |
As for the Right-of-Way Bonds, the bond amounts are determined by the Engineering Services Department. Bond limits up to $10,000 may be purchased at $100 for a one-year bond term. Additional bond limits and Jet rates can be found in the price chart below.
| Bond Limit | Cost |
|---|---|
| Up to $10,000 | $100 |
| $25,000 | $125 |

Once certified with the county, the contractor must follow all applicable license regulations pursuant to Chapter 7 of the Nassau County, FL Municode. If the contractor commits a violation, the Contractors Regulatory Board will give the contractor a chance to first correct the transgression before a mandatory hearing is held. Should the contractor be unwilling or unable to resolve the matter within the ordered timeline, the Board may file a claim upon the Contractor License Bond on behalf of themselves or a damaged claimant.
When it comes to the Right-of-Way Permit and Maintenance Bonds, the land developer or contractor must follow all regulations pursuant to the permit and Appendix D of the code listed above when executing the clearing of or construction upon roadway, drainage, or underground utilities. Once the project has been completed, maintenance upon the right-of-way area is required for a minimum period of 26 months by the permit holder. Failure to fulfill any of these obligations may result in a bond claim.
