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 $175.

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 $25,000 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; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 Division of Insurance. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your non-resident broker license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $175 at the $25,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
