About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Colona licenses contractors working within city limits through its Building Department. Licensing is conditioned on a $10,000 surety bond that stands behind a contractor's compliance with the City's building and permitting requirements.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Colona (the obligee), with the City and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a licensed contractor fails to perform work in compliance with City requirements, the harmed party can look to the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The license and bond typically run together, so we track your term and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep the filing continuous.

City of Colona Building DepartmentThe City of Colona requires a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of its contractor license; the bond amount and licensing terms are set by the City's Building Department. We confirm the current bond form and amount against the City's application before issuing.
