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.
