Pueblo contractors license bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
The City of Pueblo requires a $5,000 contractors license bond to license contractors and pull permits in the city. Colorado has no statewide contractor bond — this is a Pueblo city requirement. At 3% that would be $150, but our floor is $275, the same minimum we charge on every small bond.

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 Pueblo conditions a contractors license — the credential that lets you pull permits and work in the city — on a $5,000 license bond. The bond is the City's guarantee that you build to the adopted codes and follow Pueblo's ordinances.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Pueblo (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 contractors license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
