What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Colorado licenses insurance producers and brokers through the DORA Division of Insurance. The non-resident broker bond is associated with surplus lines activity — placing coverage with carriers not admitted in Colorado — and is set at $25,000.
The bond is a compliance-and-tax guarantee: surplus lines brokers collect and remit surplus lines premium tax and must follow the surplus lines provisions of the insurance code. The bond stands behind those obligations for the benefit of the state and affected policyholders.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Because surplus lines bond requirements are set by Division regulation, confirm the exact bond and amount tied to your license type; we issue the $25,000 non-resident broker bond at a flat 3%.
