The City of Aurora requires contractors to post a $25,000 surety bond to register with the city and pull permits. Ours is $750 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every contractor. The application is five minutes, and bonds like this are the fastest thing we issue.
















Municipal contractor bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Aurora to complete your contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
