Mississippi Bid Bond

Mississippi law requires bids on state highway construction and reconstruction contracts to include a cashier's check, certified check or bidder's bond of at least 5% of the bid. State building projects run by the Bureau of Building, Grounds and Real Property Management also require bid security of at least 5% of the base bid.

Mississippi Performance & Payment Bond

Mississippi's Little Miller Act requires a performance bond and a payment bond, each not less than the contract amount, on formal contracts for public buildings and public works.

Mississippi Contractor License Bond

The Mississippi State Board of Contractors does not list a surety bond among its license requirements; commercial applicants show net worth, a CPA-reviewed financial statement and insurance instead. Some Mississippi cities require their own contractor bond, for example Biloxi requires a $5,000 license and permitting surety bond.

Mississippi cities and counties set subdivision improvement bonds in their own subdivision ordinances. For example, Senatobia will not record a final plat until the improvements are finished or a performance bond, in an amount set by the City Engineer, is filed with the city.

Mississippi Maintenance Bond

Mississippi's public works bond law, Miss. Code § 31-5-51, requires performance and payment bonds on public building and public works contracts, but does not require a maintenance bond. When one is used, the contract or the local agency sets it.

Mississippi Right-of-Way Bond

To build a driveway or other connection on a Mississippi state highway, MDOT's permit rules list Form MND-603, Performance Bond, as a required filing when the District Engineer requires it. No fixed bond amount is set in the rule.

Mississippi Supply Bond

Mississippi's public bond law, Miss. Code § 31-5-51, covers performance and payment bonds on contracts for the construction, alteration or repair of public buildings and public works. It does not set a supply bond; when one is used, the buyer's bid or contract documents set it.

Mississippi Stop Payment Notice Release Bond

Mississippi's stop notice statute, Miss. Code § 85-7-181, lets an unpaid subcontractor notify the owner to hold back money, but it has no release bond procedure. In 2013 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held the statute facially unconstitutional.
