What it is and who needs it.
What the Cañon City contractor bond covers
Cañon City requires contractors to be licensed and bonded with the city before doing work in the rights-of-way and obtaining excavation permits, per Municipal Code Chapter 5.12 (and Chapter 12.12 for the right-of-way work itself).
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Cañon City (the obligee). The bond guarantees your compliance with the city’s contractor and construction requirements and stands behind the work you perform under your city license.
It is not insurance for you — if the city draws on the bond, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the city set — no credit check up to $100,000, and pricing starts from $100.

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