About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Trinidad registers and licenses the contractors who work within the City and conditions that license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee — it stands behind your work meeting the City's building codes and permit conditions.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Trinidad (the obligee). If a contractor violates the City's code or permit terms and the City or a harmed party is out money, they can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and your contractor registration can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.

City of Trinidad — Contractor license requirementThe City of Trinidad requires a $5,000 surety bond as a condition of its contractor license; the bond amount and terms are set by the City department that administers contractor licensing. We have not asserted a specific municipal code section — the $5,000 amount comes from your application, and we issue to match the City's form.

After you buy

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 premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

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 City of Trinidad. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of Trinidad contractor registration. Wet-ink original on request.

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.
