Pueblo contractors license bonds.
$100 flat.

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.

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 $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
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

What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
