The City of Colorado Springs conditions a concrete contractor license on a $5,000 surety bond filed with the Office of the City Clerk. Ours is $275 — the flat-3% minimum on a $5,000 bond. The application is five minutes, and city license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















City 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, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
City license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to deliver to the Deputy Licensing Officer at the Office of the City Clerk with your concrete contractor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$5,000 bond × 3% = $150, below our $275 minimum, so the price is $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A Colorado Springs concrete contractor bond is a workmanship-and-compliance guarantee running to the City. It stands behind your obligation to perform concrete work in accordance with the City's codes, standards, and the terms of your license and any permit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Colorado Springs (the obligee). If a contractor fails to meet city requirements and the City or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the City can suspend or refuse to renew the license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
