Private Construction Projects Payment Bonds

The most commonly used bonds in the private sector of the construction industry are statutory payment bonds provided by contractors pursuant to Florida Statutes section 713.23, conditional payment bonds provided by contractors pursuant to Florida Statutes section 713.245, lien transfer bonds provided pursuant to Florida Statutes section 713.24, and common law payment and/or performance bonds provided by contractors or subcontractors. There are additional types and forms of bonds, including bid bonds, which are less commonly used and which are beyond the scope of these materials. Payment and performance bonds may be required of subcontractors by the contractor on private, as well as public sector, projects; therefore, there will often be multiple payment and performance bonds on significant construction projects.
