About this 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.

City of Pueblo — Contractor LicensingThe City of Pueblo requires a surety bond as a condition of its contractors license; the $5,000 amount and terms are set by the City. Colorado has no statewide contractor license bond, so this requirement is local to Pueblo. Confirm the current amount on your City contractors license application — we issue the bond for whatever figure the City names.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Pueblo contractors license bond?The premium is $100, fixed by our carrier for this bond. The bond amount is fixed at $5,000 by the City of Pueblo, and the price you see is the checkout price — same for every contractor.

Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Does Colorado require this, or just Pueblo?Just Pueblo. Colorado has no statewide contractor license bond. The City of Pueblo requires it as a condition of its own contractors license, so the requirement and amount come from the City.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information for this bond. Most applications approve instantly; if a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that won't touch your score.

When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
