Tennessee Surety Bonds

When Do You Need a Surety Bond in Tennessee?

Surety bonds are required in Tennessee to provide financial security and guarantee that the bonded party will comply with state laws, such as the Tennessee Code, and in particular the provisions that govern their type of business.

There are three main types of surety bonds:

• When applying for a business license, you may be required to post a license or permit bond as part of your application.

• To work on a public or private construction project, contractors may also be required to post a construction bond before they can bid or perform on a contract.

• In some cases, you may be required by the court to obtain a specific type of court bond such as supersedeas bond or guardianship bond.
