Georgia Surety Bond Requirements by License Type
Georgia requires surety bonds for many regulated industries and professions. Contractors, auto dealers, mortgage lenders, collection agencies, and charitable organizations are among those who must carry a state-mandated surety bond in Georgia. The Georgia Secretary of State, the Department of Banking and Finance, and various local licensing bodies enforce these requirements. A Georgia surety bond is a legally enforceable commitment — backed by a licensed surety company — that your business will comply with state laws and that consumers harmed by your actions have financial recourse. It’s an essential step in the Georgia licensing process.
