Virginia Surety BondsDPOR's $50,000 Contractor Bond
Virginia's Board for Contractors through DPOR gives Class A and Class B contractors a choice: prove your net worth, or post a $50,000 surety bond. For many growing contractors, the bond is the faster path to licensure. Virginia's 2-year license terms mean the bond must align precisely with your license cycle. Beyond construction, Virginia requires bonds for auto dealers, financial services companies, and court filings across 120 circuit courts. We handle every Virginia bond on the correct DPOR or state agency form.
