Surety Bonds in California

The Keating Agency writes contract and commercial surety bonds across California— bid, performance & payment, subdivision, license & permit, and deposit bonds. We confirm the local requirements and get you issued fast.

Contract surety in California. Public works in California require payment and performance bonds, and the prevailing-wage and DIR registration environment makes a well-prepared surety file especially valuable on public jobs.

Bid bonds in California. California public bids typically require a bid bond of 10% of the bid; Caltrans and local agencies are major obligees. Awarded contractors must post payment and performance bonds before starting work.

Subdivision & site improvements. Subdivision improvements are bonded to a city or county under the Subdivision Map Act, with improvement and warranty (maintenance) security required before the final map is approved.

Contractor licensing. California contractors are licensed by the CSLB, which requires a contractor's license bond plus a bond of qualifying individual in many cases.
