Ohio Home Improvement Contractor (HIC) Bonds

Licensed home improvement contractors must post surety bonds to ensure compliance with state regulations and guidelines. The surety bond protects damaged parties in the event of a contractor's unethical business practices or violations of licensing guidelines.

In a few states surety bonds are required at the state level, and in some states the bond is only required for local municipalities. See our Guide to Home Improvement Contractor Bonds for more information, or click your state.
