RELEASE OF BONDS
The Division of Revenue procedure to release a contractor bond is as follows:
After completion of a bonded contract, the contractor or subcontractor must notify the
Division of Revenue in writing of completion and request cancellation of the bond. The
Division of Revenue, upon receipt of the Bond Cancellation Request will take the
following steps:
1. Examine Division of Revenue records to determine compliance with all state
taxes and licensing fees. Accounts receivable records will also be checked for any
outstanding balance due and owing the State of Delaware.
2. Contact the Department of Labor to determine compliance with all unemployment
insurance requirements.
3. Upon determination that both Division of Revenue and Department of Labor
requirements have been fulfilled, the Division of Revenue, in the case of a surety
bond, will send a final release to both the surety company and the contractor or
subcontractor acknowledging such compliance, and the bond will thereafter be
released pursuant to the surety company's procedures.
