About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

Bancroft-Clover W&S District — Rules & RegulationsThe Bancroft-Clover Water & Sanitation District requires contractors working within the District to obtain a District contractor’s license and to file a current certificate of liability insurance and a $5,000 surety bond, under the District’s Rules and Regulations. The penal sum on this page ($5,000) matches the District requirement; confirm any updates with the District office.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with the District. 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.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Bancroft-Clover contractor bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier’s rate book for this specific bond, not a percentage of the $5,000 penal sum. The $5,000 amount is fixed by the District, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. The $5,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond?The Bancroft-Clover Water & Sanitation District requires it as a condition of its contractor’s license, alongside a current certificate of liability insurance. No active bond, no license to work on the District’s system.
Is there a credit check?No credit check: the application collects no credit information. Most approve instantly.
When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the District license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
