License bonds are surety bonds guaranteeing compliance with licensing laws and protecting consumers from violations, while permits are government authorizations to conduct specific activities. License bonds are financial guarantees backed by surety companies, whereas permits are regulatory approvals. Many licenses require both a permit application and a surety bond as separate requirements.

Most license bonds require annual renewal to maintain compliance with licensing requirements. Some bonds auto-renew with automatic premium billing, while others require manual renewal before expiration. Bond renewal timing should align with license renewal periods to avoid lapses. Failing to renew bonds can result in license suspension or revocation by licensing authorities.
