About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the contractor bond actually guarantees

Arapahoe County registers contractors and conditions that registration on a surety bond — commonly $20,000. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work meeting county building and right-of-way standards and your following the county's contractor rules.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Arapahoe County (the obligee). If your work violates county standards and the county or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the exact amount your county registration calls for, priced from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
