Colorado Bid Bond
Colorado's Procurement Code requires bid security on state construction bids estimated over $50,000, under C.R.S. 24-105-201.
Colorado Performance & Payment Bond
Colorado requires performance and payment bonds on state construction contracts over $150,000 under C.R.S. 24-105-202. Local public works over $50,000 need a payment bond under C.R.S. 38-26-106.
Colorado Contractor License Bond
Colorado has no statewide general contractor license or bond. Cities and counties license contractors, and some require a bond, such as Colorado Springs for concrete contractors.
Colorado Mechanic's Lien Discharge Bond
In Colorado, a mechanic's lien can be released by filing a bond with the district court clerk in the county where the property sits, under C.R.S. 38-22-131.
Colorado Subdivision Bond
Colorado counties may not record a final plat until the subdivider gives a subdivision improvements agreement backed by collateral, under C.R.S. 30-28-137. The county sets the amount.
Colorado Maintenance Bond
No Colorado statute requires a maintenance bond in general. The public works bond law, C.R.S. § 38-26-106, requires a performance and payment bond of at least half the contract amount; maintenance or warranty bonds come from the contract or local rules.
Colorado Right-of-Way Bond
Colorado cities set bonds for work in the public right-of-way. For example, Colorado Springs requires a license and a $5,000 bond to build or repair sidewalks, curbs and driveways in the city right-of-way.
Colorado Permit Bond
Colorado has no statewide permit bond. Cities and counties set their own; for example, Aurora requires a $20,000 surety or warranty bond payable to the city for a public improvement permit, valid for two years and renewed annually.
Colorado Supply Bond
No Colorado statute requires supply bonds. The state bond law, C.R.S. § 38-26-106, covers public works contracts over $50,000 for political subdivisions and over $150,000 for the state; a bond on a supply contract is set by the buyer.
Colorado Stop Payment Notice Release Bond
On Colorado public works, an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can file a verified statement of claim, and the public body withholds that amount (C.R.S. § 38-26-107). The contractor can substitute a bond of 1.5 times the claim plus costs, approved by the district court, to release the withheld money (C.R.S. § 38-26-108).
Colorado Notary Bond
Colorado does not require notaries public to be bonded. The Colorado Secretary of State commissions notaries and suggests a bond or errors and omissions insurance as optional protection.
Colorado Freight Broker Bond (BMC-84)
Property brokers registered with FMCSA must keep $75,000 in financial security under 49 U.S.C. 13906. A surety bond is filed on Form BMC-84; a trust fund is filed on Form BMC-85.
