The license bond, for Los Angeles contractors
The California contractor license bond is a $25,000 surety bond required of every contractor licensed by the Contractors State License Board, under BPC §7071.6 and filed on CSLB Form CSLB 13b-1. It protects consumers and employees, not the contractor, and if the surety pays a valid claim you reimburse it. For the full breakdown of what it covers, who needs one, and what it costs, see our contractor license bond guide.
Los Angeles is the largest contractor market in the largest licensing state in the country. That means volume, competition, and a lot of permit-driven license bonds. It also means more contractors who get squeezed out by automated underwriting. We quote the routine $25,000 license bond fast and place the credit-challenged files the instant-issue sites turn away.
