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 prices at $100 and issues fast.

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.
