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 no credit check up to $10,000.

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 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.
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
File with the Department of Revenue. Submit the executed bond to the Wyoming Department of Revenue, Excise Tax Division, before you begin the project. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the department insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $10,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
