What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A contractor registration bond is a code-compliance and consumer-protection guarantee. The City of Kirtland wants a financial backstop that a registered contractor performs work in line with City regulations and is accountable if the work damages property or violates the registration terms.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Kirtland (the obligee), with harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a contractor breaches the registration or causes a covered loss, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Most contractors treat the $5,000 bond as a registration formality, and we track the renewal so your registration stays current.

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 bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
