A Payment Bond guaranteeing that a contractor will pay fees owed for labor and materials necessary for construction of a project. If these fees are not paid, an owner who has paid the contractor might be confronted with subcontractor’s or worker’s liens filed against the completed project.

How Does a Payment Bond Work?
In the construction industry, the payment bond is usually issued along with the performance bond. The payment bond forms a three-way contract between the Owner, the contractor and the surety, to make sure that all subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers will be paid leaving the project lien free. Payment bonds are surety bonds that ensure subcontractors and material suppliers are paid according to contract. These bonds are critical for jobs on public property where mechanic’s liens (security interests) cannot be used. When do you need a payment bond?
