What is this bond?

A Delaware Non-Resident Contractor Tax Bond is a financial guarantee ensuring that out-of-state contractors pay all applicable state taxes related to their work in Delaware. It serves as a pledge that the contractor will remit gross receipts taxes and other required tax obligations to the state.

Who needs it?

This bond is generally required for construction contractors and subcontractors who do not maintain a regular place of business within the state of Delaware but are bidding on or performing work there. You should always verify your specific bonding requirements with the Delaware Division of Revenue.

Why is it required?

The State of Delaware requires this bond to protect its tax revenue from out-of-state contractors who might otherwise leave the state without paying their financial obligations. It provides a reliable mechanism for the state to collect unpaid taxes, penalties, and interest if the contractor defaults.
