What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Colorado does not license contractors at the state level, so cities and counties run their own programs. The City of Fountain conditions a contractor license — the credential that lets you pull permits and work in the city — on a contractor license bond. The bond is the City's guarantee that you build to the adopted codes and follow Fountain's ordinances.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fountain (the obligee). If a contractor violates the building code or city ordinances 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 your contractor license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your filing continuous.

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
File with the City of Fountain. Submit the executed bond with your Fountain contractor license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
