What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor bond actually guarantees
The City of Chaffee registers contractors who work within the City and conditions that registration on a $5,000 contractor license bond. The bond is a code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the City's building code, permit conditions, and contractor registration rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Chaffee (the obligee). If a contractor violates the City code or leaves permitted work unfinished or non-compliant, the City or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. At $5,000 it is a small bond, so it sits at our $275 minimum premium and issues fast.
