Contractors State License Board
Author, Matt Gaynor, Director, Surety Department, Rancho Mesa Insurance Services, Inc.
Currently, all contractors licensed in the State of California are required by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) to have a $15,000 contractor license bond on file with the state. This amount has been in effect since January 1, 2016.

In California, when a contractor opts to organize their business as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) they are required to maintain an LLC Employee/Worker Bond in the amount of $100,000 in order to obtain their Contractors License, per the California Business and Professions Code, Section 7071.6.5. After our clients receive notice of this requirement, we are often asked why this bond is required and what does it protect against.
