How an injunction bond works, and what to have ready.
Why the court asks for it
You are asking the court to order someone to stop, or start, doing something before the case is decided. The court requires a bond before that order takes effect.
Who it protects
The party the order restrains. If the court later finds the order should not have been granted, they can recover the costs and damages it caused them, up to the bond amount.
If there is a claim
The surety pays a valid claim after the court rules, and you repay the surety.
Have these ready
- The court's order granting the injunction or restraining order, with the bond amount it sets
- The court, case number and the parties' names
- The complaint or motion that asked for the order
- Financial statements for the person or business posting the bond
- Your attorney's name and contact details
What it is and who needs it.
What the TRO bond actually covers
When you ask a Colorado court for a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction, Rule 65(c) of the Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure generally requires you to post security first. The bond protects the party you are restraining if it later turns out the restraint was wrongful.
The amount is set by the court, in its discretion, to cover the costs and damages the restrained party would incur if the order should not have issued. There is no flat statutory figure — the judge names the number in the order, and that is the bond amount you post.
This is a judicial bond, not a license bond: it backs your obligations under the court's order. If the restrained party is wrongfully enjoined and proves damages, they can recover against the bond up to the penal sum — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.

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 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.
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 court. Receive the executed bond, file it with the clerk to satisfy the security condition so your TRO or injunction can take effect. Wet-ink originals mailed when the clerk requires them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
