From $100.
The bond a Colorado government agency, park, school, or public venue can require of a concession operator as a condition of its concession contract.

What it is and who needs it.
What the concessionaire bond actually covers
A concessionaire bond is required when a business operates a concession — food, retail, recreation, vending — on property owned or controlled by a government agency or public landlord. In Colorado that can be a state park, a Parks and Wildlife operation, a county or municipal venue, a school district, or another public body that grants a concession.
There is no single statewide statute that fixes a concessionaire bond amount. The requirement and the amount come from your concession contract: the agency sets it to cover the fees you owe it, the sales it expects, or a flat figure it has chosen. The bond protects the agency — and sometimes the public — if you breach the concession agreement.
Because the amount is contract-driven, enter the figure your agreement names. The premium is 2% of that amount, $100 minimum, confirmed with a quick soft credit check that affects approval, not price — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. If your contract is unclear on the amount, send it to us and we will confirm before 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 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.
How to file it
Deliver to the agency. Submit the executed bond to the government agency or public landlord that required it. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
