Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Application Process

To initiate a new contractor license, applicants must create and log in to a Customer Access account. Users must select the Building Contractors tab, identify their license type, and provide all necessary account and detail information. Applicants must upload required documentation, including general liability insurance, a state-issued ID, and workers' compensation information where applicable. Once submitted and reviewed, contractors will be notified via email and must pay any required fees to finalize the process.

License types include various classes for building, mechanical, roofing, solar, and retaining wall projects, with specific fees and certification requirements such as ICC or NICET proof. Licenses are valid for one year from issuance. Agents acting on behalf of a contractor should utilize their own individual Customer Access account for the application or renewal process.

License Documentation

All license categories require proof of general liability insurance with a minimum general aggregate of $2,000,000 and $1,000,000 per occurrence, naming Arapahoe County as an additional holder. Depending on the license class, contractors may also need to submit master licenses, specific trade registrations, or proof of experience.

For example, radon and water conditioner contractors must provide proof of active registration with the Department of Regulatory Agencies as mandated by state law. Other contractors may be required to furnish specific certification documents, such as NABCEP certification for solar contractors or NICET certification for specific General D license holders.

Match the request, then purchase

Use the county's written contractor bond request for the applicant name, recipient, requested amount and license reference. The licensing information above explains the county application; it does not set the terms of this bond.

Purchase Now opens Propeller in a new tab. Complete your bond application there. After issuance, check the document against the request and follow the accompanying delivery instructions. Continue the county's license application separately; a bond purchase does not approve it.
