What Is a NC Landscape Contractor Bond?

The North Carolina Landscape Contractor Bond is a $10,000 License and Permit Surety Bond required by the North Carolina Landscape Contractors’ Licensing Board for licensed landscape contractors.

This bond helps protect the public by guaranteeing that licensed contractors comply with Chapter 89D of the North Carolina General Statutes and the Board’s rules governing landscape contracting.

If a contractor fails to comply with those legal requirements or causes a covered financial loss, an eligible claim may be made against the bond. The bond provides financial protection for consumers while helping maintain professional standards throughout the landscaping industry.

Who Needs the NC Landscape Contractor Bond?

The North Carolina Landscape Contractors’ Licensing Board requires this bond for licensed landscape contractors operating within the state.

The bond may be issued for:

  • Individual license holders
  • Sole proprietors
  • Partnerships
  • Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
  • Corporations

When permitted by the Board, a corporate bond may cover multiple licensed landscape contractors employed by the same company.

Why Is the NC Landscape Contractor Bond Required?

The NC Landscape Contractor Bond helps protect consumers while promoting professionalism within the landscaping industry.

The bond helps ensure licensed contractors:

  • Comply with North Carolina laws and regulations
  • Perform work according to professional standards
  • Meet their licensing obligations
  • Provide financial protection when covered violations occur

Requiring a surety bond helps maintain confidence in licensed landscape contractors throughout North Carolina while providing an additional layer of protection for the public.

How Much Is the NC Landscape Contractor Bond?

Although the required bond amount is $10,000, you’ll generally pay only a small annual premium rather than the full bond amount.

Through American Surety Bonds Agency’s Instant Issue platform, qualified applicants can purchase this bond for as low as $100 for a one-year term.

Your premium may vary depending on the information provided during the application process.

Because this is an Instant Issue bond, many applicants can complete the application and purchase their bond online in just a few minutes.

When Does the Bond Renew?

One of the most important dates for North Carolina Landscape Contractors is July 31.

Licensed contractors must maintain an active surety bond as part of the annual licensing requirements. Obtaining or renewing your bond before the deadline helps keep your license in compliance and avoid unnecessary licensing delays.

American Surety Bonds Agency recommends beginning this process several weeks before July 31 to allow plenty of time for processing and the issuance of any required documentation.
