What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Durango requires every master plumber to execute a good and sufficient $5,000 bond with the City Clerk's office before doing plumbing work in the city. A plumber who holds a state master plumber's license and a Durango business license, and files this bond, is qualified to plumb within the city.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Durango (the obligee). The bond stands behind your compliance with the city's plumbing code — if defective work or a code violation causes a loss, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Plumbers who work to code treat the bond as a licensing formality, and we keep your $5,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
