About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Alamosa licenses private detectives and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a client-protection guarantee: it stands behind your acting within the law and conducting investigations ethically, compensating clients for damage caused by misconduct.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Alamosa (the obligee), with your clients as the protected parties. If a detective violates the law or harms a client through misconduct, the harmed client can recover against the bond up to $10,000.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay on file for your private-detective license to stay valid.

City of Alamosa — private detective licenseThe City of Alamosa requires a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of a private-detective license, guaranteeing the investigator acts within the law and compensates clients for damage caused by misconduct; the amount and terms are set by the City.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Alamosa private-detective bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, just above our $275 minimum. The $10,000 is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability to harmed clients if you act unlawfully — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The City of Alamosa requires it as a condition of a private-detective license. Note that Colorado ended its statewide PI license in 2021, so today this is a local City of Alamosa requirement.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your license never lapses.
