How does an Arvada contractor license bond work?

Arvada contractor license bonds ensure that contractors follow the rules and regulations regarding building codes, taxes, etc., and act professionally and ethically. If a contractor breaks one or multiple points of their bond agreement, a client who suffers damages can file a claim against the bond.  The $20,000 Arvada contractor license bond is a contract between three parties: 
  • A principal: The contractor 
  • An obligee: The City of Arvada requiring the bond for work taking place within city limits
  • The surety: The organization taking on the initial responsibility for incidents that may occur. Contractors must pay back the full amount for approved claims on their bond over time.
Contractors will pay a premium to obtain their surety bond, which in Arvada is typically $100 per year. Visit our page on contractor license bonds in Colorado for more information.
