West Virginia Bid Bond
West Virginia requires bids on state and local government construction projects over $50,000 to include a valid bid bond or other surety approved by the awarding public body, under W. Va. Code § 5-22-1.
West Virginia Performance & Payment Bond
West Virginia awards government construction contracts over $50,000 to the lowest qualified responsible bidder, who must furnish a sufficient performance and payment bond under W. Va. Code § 5-22-1.
West Virginia Contractor License Bond
West Virginia's contractor license, issued through the Contractor Licensing Board at the Division of Labor, does not call for a license bond. Separately, W. Va. Code § 21-5-14 requires employers doing construction work to post a wage bond with the Division of Labor unless they qualify for an exemption, and the license application includes a wage bond affidavit.
West Virginia Mechanic's Lien Discharge Bond
West Virginia does not provide a bond to discharge a mechanics lien. Under W. Va. Code § 38-2-36, the owner petitions the circuit court and deposits cash in escrow equal to the amount stated in the notice of lien, and the lien is then discharged.
West Virginia Subdivision Bond
West Virginia counties and municipalities may accept a bond as security for subdivision infrastructure construction under Chapter 8A, Article 6 of the Code. The governing body sets the amount.
West Virginia Maintenance Bond
West Virginia's public construction bidding law, W. Va. Code § 5-22-1, requires a bid bond and a performance and payment bond on state construction projects over $25,000, but does not require a maintenance or warranty bond. When one is used, the contract sets it.
West Virginia Right-of-Way Bond
The West Virginia Division of Highways requires security for an encroachment permit on state highway right-of-way. The security can be a certified check, money order or a bond with surety satisfactory to the Division.
West Virginia Permit Bond
West Virginia has no statewide building permit bond; any bond for a local permit is set by the city or county. For work on state highway right of way, the Division of Highways uses an encroachment bond (Form SM-6) signed by the applicant and a surety.
West Virginia Supply Bond
West Virginia's bonding law for state construction, W. Va. Code § 5-22-1, covers bid bonds and performance and payment bonds on construction projects. No West Virginia statute requiring a supply bond was found; when used, the purchasing agency's bid or contract documents set it.
West Virginia Stop Payment Notice Release Bond
West Virginia does not have a stop payment notice procedure, so there is no stop notice release bond. Unpaid parties use mechanics liens (W. Va. Code ch. 38, art. 2) and payment bonds instead.
West Virginia Notary Bond
West Virginia does not require notaries public to carry a bond. House Bill 4207, effective June 3, 2018, removed the earlier $1,000 bond or insurance requirement.
West Virginia 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.
