Sheridan Trade and Subcontractor License Bond
What it is & who requires it
Sheridan’s licensed trades and subcontractors, in four class families that all post the same amount. Type II covers plumbing, HVAC, fire sprinkler and electrical contractors, including low voltage and limited electrical with fire alarm. Type III covers structural concrete, roofing, masonry and drywall subcontractors. Type IV covers siding and glazing, plastering and acoustical, and sign and solar subcontractors. Type V covers excavation and utility contractors. Experience requirements differ by class — two years for Types II and IV, four years or an approved apprenticeship for Type III — but the bond does not. Note that an electrical contractor licensed by the state still needs the city license and this bond to work in Sheridan.

Term & renewal
Term: Held with the trade or subcontractor license, conditioned on faithful performance and compliance with the building chapter.
Renewal: Maintained for as long as you hold the license.
Filing
Filed with the City of Sheridan with your trade or subcontractor license application, in whichever class you qualify for. The code states the sum and names the instrument completely — a license and permit compliance bond executed by a surety company authorized to transact business in Wyoming, with you as principal and the city as obligee — with no cash deposit or other security offered in its place, which is why the figure is published here. A current state electrical contractor license is accepted in place of the city examination for the electrical categories, but not in place of the bond. General contractors license in Sheridan’s Type I classes and post a larger bond. Authority: Sheridan City Code Ch. 7.
