Connecticut Contractor License or Sales Tax Bond

Contractor license and permits bonds are required in Connecticut for various types of work including excavation, right of way, sewer, building, sidewalk, electrical and plumbing projects. Additionally non-resident contractors are subject to a contractor sales tax bond requirement typically in a coverage amount equating to 5% of the contract. Cities, town, and other local municipalities requiring contractor surety bonds include Bristol, Hamden, Middletown, New Haven, Rocky Hill, South Windsor, Wallingford, and West Hartford.

If this bond is for a job that you are bidding or a contract that has been awarded to you, the surety bond you need is a Contract/Construction Bond rather than a Contractor License Bond.
