What is the Purpose of the Financially Responsible Officer Bond?

Florida requires FROs to purchase a Financially Responsible Officer Bond as part of the application process for the Construction Contractor License. The bond ensures that if there is any public harm or financial loss caused by licensing violations, then compensation will be provided through this type of insurance policy on behalf of both parties in order to avoid litigation and costly losses.

Who is Required to Purchase a Financially Responsible Officer Bond?

Florida’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation requires this type of bond, called a FRO Bond for construction companies that want to use their license as qualification instead. The person who is the main owner will typically be designated as its FRO and get an additional business licensing requirement along with cover from any fines or other fees they would incur if anything were not up to code during construction work.

What is the Financially Responsible Officer Bond cost?

The obligee establishes the state’s required financially responsible officer bond amount, but it doesn't stop there. The surety determines what percentage of that bond amount a given applicant will pay as a premium and this is based on various factors such as an individual's credit history or financial situation which are taken into consideration to assess their risk level for issuing FRO bonds to them in the first place.

Does the Financially Responsible Officer Bond cancel out the Contractor License Bond?

No, all Florida contractors who have a credit score below 660 will still need to purchase and maintain both the Construction Contractor Bond as well as the Financially Responsible Officer bond. The latter is for construction companies whose qualifying individual does not have an ownership stake in the company.
