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; pricing is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, calculated instantly at the 60-second application. The application collects no credit information for most applicants.
















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 fields in the application and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review; any check run is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond to the City division that issues your permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
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, pricing from $100, 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. The application collects no credit information for most applicants.
