What it is and who needs it.
What the Aurora bond actually guarantees
The City of Aurora licenses contractors and conditions the license on a $20,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your adherence to the city building code and the terms of your permits.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Aurora (the obligee). If a contractor violates city code or permit conditions and the city 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. Contractors who build to code and close out permits treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
