What Is a License/Permit Bond?

A license/permit bond is a financial guarantee required by government entities to ensure compliance with laws, regulations, and contractual obligations. This bond is a three-party agreement:

1. Principal: The individual or business obtaining the bond.

2. Obligee: The government agency requiring the bond.

3. Surety: The company providing the bond.

If the principal fails to comply with the regulations, the obligee can file a claim against the bond to recover damages, with the surety covering the claim up to the bond's limit.
