Denver parking lot license bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
The City and County of Denver conditions an annual parking lot/garage license on a $1,000 surety bond filed with the Department of Excise & Licenses. Three percent of $1,000 is $30, so this lands at our $275 minimum — and license bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Denver licenses commercial parking lots and garages through the Department of Excise & Licenses, and conditions that annual license on a $1,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-and-patron protection guarantee tied to operating the lot.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City and County of Denver (the obligee), with the public and your patrons as the protected parties. The bond is conditioned to hold the City and any patron harmless from costs, judgments, or injury arising out of the operation of the licensed lot.
The bond must stay active for the life of the license. Let it lapse and Excise & Licenses can act against the license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $1,000 filing continuous.
