Lander Contractor License Bond
What it is & who requires it
Five licensed trades in Lander: electrical contractors, plumbing contractors, building contractors, refrigeration repair contractors and HVAC contractors. The city requires the security before the license is issued and again before it is renewed. It is conditioned that the licensee will comply with the requirements of the licensing title, and the city or any person damaged by a failure to comply may sue on it in their own name and for their own benefit — so it answers to private claimants as well as to the city. Applicants for plumbing, building contractor and HVAC licenses also sit a testing certification.
Obligee: City of Lander (Board of Examiners; City Clerk). Citation: Lander City Code § 13-1-6 (Bond Requirement For Contractors); § 13-1-1 (Board of Examiners); § 13-1-7 (testing certification); Title 13 chs. 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11; amended by Ord. 1215, 7/11/2017.

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the license and required again at renewal — the code conditions both issuance and renewal on the bond being furnished.
Renewal: Required afresh at every renewal, not only at first licensure.
Filing
Furnished to the City of Lander before your license is issued or renewed. The ordinance is explicit that the requirement may be met by posting either a cash bond or a surety bond naming the city as payee — where a city gives you that choice, a bond is one accepted form rather than the only one, and we quote the requirement instead of publishing a figure. Two features worth knowing. The bond is re-required at renewal rather than simply carried forward, so plan for it annually. And it runs to private claimants as well as the city: anyone damaged by your failure to comply with the licensing title may sue on it in their own name. Authority: Lander City Code § 13-1-6.
