Why do I need this bond?
All applicants for licensure as a contractor in Utah must demonstrate to the state their financial fitness before a license will be issued. This particular bond ensures that the contractor adheres to the standards of the Utah Constructions Trades Licensing Act (Utah Code Ann. Title 58, Chapter 55) when completing his or her construction projects.
More specifically, the purpose of this bond is to allow for claims to be made against the principal (contractor) by consumers if they suffer financial loss or other harm as a result of the principal’s faulty work.

What’s the fine print?

Cancellation becomes effective 60 days after the division receives the notice.
