North Carolina surety bonds.

North Carolina Bid Bond

North Carolina G.S. 143-129 requires a bid deposit of at least 5% of the bid on public construction or repair work estimated at $500,000 or more. A bid bond from a licensed corporate surety may be used instead of cash or a certified check.

North Carolina Performance & Payment Bond

Under G.S. 44A-26, when construction contracts for one public project total more than $300,000, each contractor with a contract over $50,000 must give a performance bond and a payment bond, each for 100% of the contract.

North Carolina Contractor License Bond

The North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors lets applicants file a surety bond instead of showing the working capital required for their license limitation. The bond amount depends on the license level.

North Carolina Mechanic's Lien Discharge Bond

Under G.S. 44A-16, a claim of lien on real property can be discharged by depositing with the clerk of court a corporate surety bond for 1.25 times the amount of the lien claim.

North Carolina Subdivision Bond

G.S. 160D-804.1 lets local subdivision rules require a performance guarantee, such as a surety bond, for required improvements. The guarantee may not exceed 125% of the estimated cost of completion.

North Carolina Maintenance Bond

North Carolina's Little Miller Act (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 44A-26) mandates only performance and payment bonds on qualifying public construction projects and does not require a separate maintenance or warranty bond. NCDOT's Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures (Article 103-7) fold a 12-month defect-and-workmanship guarantee into the existing performance and payment bonds rather than requiring a stand-alone maintenance bond. Owners on public or private projects may require a separate maintenance bond by contract.

North Carolina Right-of-Way Bond

NCDOT may require performance and indemnity bonds from applicants for encroachment agreements to work within highway rights of way. The bond covers damage to the right of way caused by the work.

North Carolina Permit Bond

North Carolina has no statewide statute requiring a surety bond as a condition of issuing a building or work permit. G.S. 160D-1110 authorizes local governments to issue building permits and set conditions but imposes no bond requirement. Local governments may impose a permit bond by ordinance; Mecklenburg County requires all persons performing construction work in the county to post a surety or cash bond under the Mecklenburg County Construction and Permit Fee Ordinance, with a minimum of $1,000 for towns and $2,000 for the City of Charlotte or county-wide work.

North Carolina Supply Bond

N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-129 governs competitive bidding on public purchases of apparatus, supplies, materials, and equipment ($90,000 and above) but its bond cross-reference applies only to construction and repair work contracts, directing those to comply with Article 3 of Chapter 44A (the Little Miller Act). The statute imposes no performance or payment bond requirement on stand-alone supply or equipment purchase contracts. Public agencies and project owners may require a supply bond by contract.

North Carolina Stop Payment Notice Release Bond

North Carolina does not have a stop payment notice (stop notice) statute. Unpaid subcontractors and suppliers instead perfect a 'Notice of Claim of Lien upon Funds' under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 44A-18, which requires the obligor to retain withheld funds; no NC statute allows the owner or contractor to post a release bond to free those funds in lieu of the claim. The bond-off mechanism that NC does recognize—depositing a corporate surety bond equal to 125% of the claimed amount under G.S. 44A-16—applies only to discharge a recorded claim of lien on real property (mechanics lien), not a lien on funds.

North Carolina Notary Bond

North Carolina does not require a bond for notaries public. Notaries are commissioned by the Secretary of State for a five year term under Chapter 10B of the General Statutes.

North Carolina Freight Broker Bond (BMC-84)

Property brokers registered with FMCSA must keep $75,000 in financial security under 49 U.S.C. 13906. A surety bond is filed on Form BMC-84; a trust fund is filed on Form BMC-85.
