The bond the City of Thornton requires of contractors as a condition of pulling a permit and working in the City. Thornton sets the bond amount on your permit; we issue it at a flat 3%, $275 minimum, with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard Thornton permit bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the City. Here is the whole thing:
Business details, the bond amount the City required, and an effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond to the City division that issues your permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter the figure on your City of Thornton permit and the premium updates.
The City of Thornton conditions certain contractor and construction permits on a surety bond. The bond is a performance and compliance guarantee — it stands behind your work being done to the City's codes and conditions, and behind any City property you touch being restored.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Thornton (the obligee). If permitted work is left incomplete, fails inspection, or damages City property, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the City set, at a flat 3% with no credit check, on the form the City names.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Thornton set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file. No credit check on this bond.
