Under Arizona ROC rules, what is the minimum bond amount required for a residential contractor with a classification limit of $750,000?
Correct Answer
D) $15,000
Arizona requires a minimum bond of $15,000 for residential contractors, regardless of classification limit, with higher amounts required for larger limits.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
The Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC) requires a minimum bond of $15,000 for residential contractors. This base requirement applies regardless of classification limit — the $750,000 classification limit in the question is a deliberate distractor. While higher classification limits may require higher bond amounts for commercial work, the residential contractor minimum is $15,000.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $7,500
$7,500 is below the statutory minimum bond amount established by the ROC for residential contractors. No residential contractor classification permits a bond this low.
Option B: $10,000
$10,000 is also below the $15,000 minimum required for residential contractors by the ROC. This figure does not correspond to any standard Arizona residential contractor bond tier.
Option C: $25,000
$25,000 exceeds the minimum bond amount for the base residential contractor classification. While larger commercial contractors may need higher bonds, the minimum for residential contractors is $15,000, not $25,000.
Memory Technique
Associate '$15,000' with 'ROC residential minimum.' Think: 'Fifteen for residential in Arizona.' The classification limit is a red herring — the minimum bond is always the flat $15,000 floor.
