Maryland Surety Bond Requirements for Licensed Professionals
Maryland requires surety bonds for a wide range of licensed businesses and professions. Home improvement contractors, auto dealers, mortgage lenders, collection agencies, and public adjusters are among those who must carry a valid surety bond under Maryland law. The Maryland Department of Labor, the Office of the Commissioner of Financial Regulation, and various local licensing boards enforce bonding requirements to protect Maryland consumers and ensure business accountability. Your Maryland surety bond is more than a formality — it’s a legal commitment to ethical, compliant business operations in the Old Line State.
