About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

An Aurora contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee to the City of Aurora. It backs your promise to follow the city's building and zoning code, pull the right permits, and perform registered work to code.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Aurora (the obligee), with the city and the public as the protected parties. If you damage city property, leave permitted work unfinished, or violate the city code, a harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Keep your registration active and your work to code and the bond is just a line on your renewal checklist.

City of Aurora — Building DepartmentThe City of Aurora requires a contractor surety bond as a condition of registering as a contractor and pulling permits; the $25,000 amount and bond terms are set by the City of Aurora Building Department. We do not have a specific codified ordinance number to cite here, so confirm the current amount and form on your registration packet — and send it to us if it differs and we will match it exactly.
