About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Sheridan contractor bond covers

The City of Sheridan, the county seat of Sheridan County, requires contractors to register with the City and post a $10,000 license bond as a condition of that registration, administered through its Public Works / building permit office.

It is a three-party guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Sheridan (the obligee). The bond stands behind your compliance with the City building code and contractor ordinances — if you violate them and the City or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who follow the City code treat the $10,000 bond as a registration formality.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the City of Sheridan contractor bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every contractor. The $10,000 is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The City of Sheridan requires it as a condition of contractor registration. No active bond, no registration.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section. Small fixed-amount municipal license bonds like this one don't need one.
Is this the same as the commercial or residential contractor bond? +
No — the City of Sheridan also has $25,000 commercial and residential contractor bonds. This is the standard $10,000 contractor license bond. Match the bond the City named on your registration.
