Question: how much does it cost to be bonded?
Answer: You will generally pay 1-15% of the total bond amount. Your rate is often based off your personal credit score. For example, if you need a $10,000 surety bond and you get quoted at a 1% rate, you will pay $100 for your surety bond. Higher risk bonds, like construction bonds, may cost 10% or more of the bond's value.
