North Dakota Bid Bond
North Dakota Century Code section 48-01.2-05 requires bid security on public improvement bids. The security is a bidder's bond equal to 5% of the full bid.
North Dakota Performance & Payment Bond
North Dakota Century Code section 48-01.2-10 requires a contractor bond on public improvement contracts over a set dollar threshold. The bond covers both performance of the contract and payment of labor, material and subcontractor claims.
North Dakota Contractor License Bond
North Dakota licenses contractors through the Secretary of State for jobs over $4,000 under N.D.C.C. ch. 43-07. Applicants must file a certificate of liability insurance and workers' compensation proof; the license law does not require a surety bond.
North Dakota Mechanic's Lien Discharge Bond
In North Dakota, an owner can apply to the district court to discharge a construction lien by filing a bond of at least the lien amount. The bond guarantees payment of any amount the lien claimant recovers, plus costs.
North Dakota Subdivision Bond
North Dakota law lets counties (N.D.C.C. § 11-33.2-12) and cities (N.D.C.C. ch. 40-48) regulate subdivisions and the streets, sewers and water mains built in them. The state code sections reviewed do not set a subdivision bond; any improvement guarantee is set by the local subdivision rules.
North Dakota Maintenance Bond
North Dakota requires a bond of at least the contract price on public improvement contracts over $250,000, covering performance and payment of labor and material claims (N.D.C.C. § 48-01.2-10). The statute does not require a separate maintenance or warranty bond; when used, the contract sets it.
North Dakota Right-of-Way Bond
Utility work on North Dakota state highway right of way needs an NDDOT permit, with a certificate of insurance; a statewide bond was not confirmed. Cities set their own rules: Bismarck requires work in city right of way to be done by a city-approved licensed and bonded contractor.
North Dakota Permit Bond
North Dakota has no statewide permit bond. Cities set their own; for example, Bismarck requires contractors working in city right of way to be city-licensed and bonded, and its concrete contractor packet lists a $5,000 license/permit bond.
North Dakota Supply Bond
North Dakota's public improvement bond law (N.D.C.C. § 48-01.2-10) covers construction of public improvements over $250,000, not supply purchases. The state Supreme Court held that supplying aggregate to county stockpiles was not construction of a public improvement, so the bond law did not apply. Supply bonds are set by the purchase contract.
North Dakota Stop Payment Notice Release Bond
North Dakota has no stop payment notice procedure. Unpaid parties on private jobs use a construction lien under N.D.C.C. ch. 35-27, and on public jobs claim against the contractor's bond under N.D.C.C. § 48-01.2-10.
North Dakota Notary Bond
North Dakota requires a $7,500 notary bond covering notarial acts during the commission. The Secretary of State commissions notaries for a four year term.
North Dakota 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.
