Jackson General and Building Contractor License Bond
What it is & who requires it
Jackson’s two top contractor classes: the Class A general contractor and the Class B building contractor. Both post the same amount, which is the largest municipal contractor bond in this directory and reflects the construction values in the town. Applications also require proof of Wyoming workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance, or proof of why each is not required, and proof of good standing with the Wyoming Secretary of State for a corporation or limited liability company. Restricted building contractors and residential contractors license in Jackson’s lower classes at smaller amounts, and everything else falls into the town’s all-other-contractors class.
Obligee: Town of Jackson (Building Department). Citation: Jackson Town Code Ch. 15.36 (Contractor Licensing — Class A General Contractor and Class B Building Contractor).

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the contractor license, conditioned that the licensee will faithfully perform the duties of the license and in all things comply with the licensing chapter and its amendments.
Renewal: Maintained for as long as you hold the license.
Filing
Filed with the Town of Jackson with your contractor license application. The code states the sum in a published class schedule and names the instrument completely — a compliance bond executed by a surety company authorized to transact business in Wyoming, with you as principal and the Town of Jackson as obligee — and offers no cash deposit or other security in its place, which is why the figure is published here. An individual employed exclusively by the State of Wyoming may work on state-owned property without a license, a certificate of qualification or bonding, and that is the only bonding exemption in the chapter. Check your class before you buy: Jackson’s schedule has three distinct sums across five classes. Authority: Jackson Town Code Ch. 15.36.
