To pull a contractor’s license with the Bancroft-Clover Water & Sanitation District and work on its water and sewer mains, the District requires a $5,000 surety bond. Ours is $275 flat — 3% of $5,000 is below our minimum, so you pay the minimum. No credit check on this bond.
















District license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here’s the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That’s the application — no financials and no credit-check section for this bond.
Small fixed-amount license bonds like this issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Bancroft-Clover Water & Sanitation District along with your certificate of liability insurance. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, which is below our $275 minimum — so you pay $275, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The Bancroft-Clover Water & Sanitation District is a Colorado special district that owns and operates the water and sewer system in its service area. Before a contractor can tap, connect to, or work on that system, the District requires a contractor’s license — conditioned on a $5,000 surety bond plus a current certificate of liability insurance.
The bond is a performance-and-compliance guarantee to the District: it stands behind your following the District’s rules and regulations, doing the work correctly, and not leaving the District or the public exposed if you abandon a project or do faulty work on the water or sewer mains.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the District (the obligee). If you violate the District’s rules and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It is not insurance for you.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit-check section, because this bond doesn’t have one.
