Jackson Specialty Contractor License Bond
What it is & who requires it
Every Jackson contractor license class outside the four named building classes — the code calls it all other contractors, and it is where the specialty trades sit. This is the entry point for most trade contractors working in the town. The application requires proof of Wyoming workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance, or proof of why each is not required, and good standing with the Secretary of State for a corporation or limited liability company. Individuals under eighteen may work in the regulated trades without a certificate of qualification from January 2026, applying for the card on turning eighteen.

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the contractor license, conditioned on faithful performance and compliance with the licensing chapter.
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 — with no cash deposit or other security offered in its place, which is why the figure is published here. Confirm which class you fall into before buying: Jackson’s general and building classes carry a much larger bond, and its restricted and residential classes a larger one again. Demolition work in Jackson requires a separate compliance bond under its own chapter. Authority: Jackson Town Code Ch. 15.36.
