What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor tax bond actually covers
Wyoming taxes the materials and equipment used on construction projects, and it wants assurance that an out-of-state prime contractor will remit the sales and use tax it owes. Under W.S. 39-15-303 (sales tax) and W.S. 39-16-306 (use tax), each nonresident prime contractor must file a surety bond with the Department of Revenue before the work begins.
The bond is conditioned on payment of all sales and use taxes that become due under the contract. The required amount is generally 3% of the payments due under the contract — plus any increased rate in effect — or an amount the Department determines. If the contractor fails to remit, the state can recover the unpaid tax against the bond.
Wyoming also accepts a cash deposit of at least 4% of the total contract in place of a bond, refunded once you file a surety bond or complete the project tax-paid. A surety bond is usually cheaper than tying up 4% of the contract in cash. Enter your required amount — pricing starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
