About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Sheridan residential bond covers

The City of Sheridan registers residential contractors separately from commercial contractors and conditions residential registration on a $25,000 license bond, administered through its 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 residential 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. Residential contractors who follow the City code treat the $25,000 bond as a registration formality.

City of Sheridan residential contractor registrationThe City of Sheridan requires a $25,000 residential contractor bond as a condition of registering for residential work; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Sheridan through its building permit office. We frame this conservatively rather than cite a specific ordinance number — confirm details with the City, and the $25,000 amount is fixed on this bond.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the City of Sheridan residential contractor bond? +
The premium is $750 — a flat 3% of the fixed $25,000 bond amount, the same for every residential contractor. The $25,000 is set by the City, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How is this different from the commercial contractor bond? +
The City of Sheridan registers residential and commercial contractors separately. Both bonds are $25,000 and $750, but you file the one that matches the type of work your registration covers — residential here, commercial on the commercial bond.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section. Fixed-amount municipal license bonds like this one don't need one.
How fast will I have the bond? +
License bonds like this issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
