What is a Florida Construction Materials Mining Company Bond?
A Florida Construction Materials Mining Company Bond is a type of surety bond required under Florida Statutes Chapter 552.38. It applies to entities engaged in the extraction of construction materials—such as limestone, sand, gravel, or rock—from sites within the state.
The purpose of this $100,000 bond is to ensure the licensed business operates in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. If the mining company violates any part of their licensing agreement or fails to pay damages resulting from their operations, the bond offers financial protection to the state and affected third parties.
Who Needs This Bond?
You are required to post this bond if you:
- Hold a license for construction materials mining in Florida
- Operate a business that involves blasting, drilling, or the removal of earth materials for construction use
- Are subject to oversight by the Florida Department of Financial Services (DFS)
This bond is a condition of licensure and must remain active throughout the term of your operations.
Why is the Bond Required?
The Florida DFS mandates this bond to hold mining companies accountable for the safety and responsibility of their operations. Specifically, the bond ensures that:
- The licensee adheres to Chapter 552 of the Florida Statutes
- All rules set forth by the Chief Financial Officer are followed
- Damages awarded through legal proceedings or administrative hearings are paid within 30 days of a final decision
If a company fails to meet any of these obligations, the state can file a claim against the bond up to the full $100,000 amount.
What Does the Bond Cover?
The Florida Construction Materials Mining Company Bond provides coverage in cases where:
- The mining operator violates licensing terms or regulatory rules
- A court or administrative judge awards damages against the licensee
- The company fails to satisfy those damages within the legal time frame
How Much Does the Bond Cost?
While the bond amount is fixed at $100,000, your cost (or premium) will depend on several factors, including:
- Your personal credit score
- Business financials and experience
- Claims history and industry risk
In most cases, qualified applicants can expect to pay 1% to 3% of the bond amount—meaning annual premiums could range from $1,000 to $3,000.
