What is the statute of limitations for filing a complaint against a Tennessee contractor's license bond?
Correct Answer
B) 2 years from completion
Tennessee law provides a 2-year statute of limitations for filing claims against a contractor's license bond from the date of project completion.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Tennessee law establishes a 2-year statute of limitations for filing claims against a contractor's license bond, measured from the date the project was completed.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 4 years from completion
4 years is the statute of limitations for many written contract claims in Tennessee general civil law, but the specific period for license bond claims is shorter at 2 years.
Option C: 1 year from completion
1 year is too short. While some states use a 1-year window for bond claims, Tennessee's specific provision is 2 years from project completion.
Option D: 3 years from completion
3 years does not match Tennessee's statute for license bond claims. This is another plausible distractor between the correct 2 years and the general 4-year contract limitation.
Memory Technique
Bond = 2 years. Think 'B2' — Bond, 2 years. If you have a bond claim in Tennessee, you have until the second anniversary of project completion to file.
