Wyoming Contractor License Bond
What is a Wyoming contractor license bond?
Contractors may need to obtain a bond as part of the licensing process in Wyoming. The type of bond and amount required can vary depending on the work. The following contractors may need to secure a surety bond to work in cities like Cheyenne, Gillette, and Sheridan, Wyoming:
- General contractors
- Building contractors
- Residential contractors
- Roofing contractors
- Plumbing contractors
- Demolition contractors
Bonding guarantees the public that they will receive compensation for damages if their contractor fails to comply with applicable licensing laws. A surety is an organization willing to take responsibility for incidents that may occur and mediate an immediate solution.
Wyoming contractor license bonds can also benefit contractors and their businesses. Getting bonded may ease the minds of other parties involved in various projects, so they’re more willing to work with you. It may also protect you – the contractor – from immediate financial repercussions.

Wyoming Contractor License Bond Requirements
The Wyoming Secretary of State regulates contractors and construction-related companies much like many other businesses in the state. For non-resident contractors working in Wyoming, the Department of Revenue requires a tax bond. This bond ensures all sales are properly accounted for.
In addition to statewide requirements, various municipalities in Wyoming require contractor license bonds. Some locations generally define those working in construction as “contractors,” while others specify by trade. If you plan to work in any of the following areas, you may need to secure one or more surety bonds:
- Buffalo Contractor License Bond – Amount varies
- Gillette Contractor License Bond – $5,000
- Jackson Contractor License Bond – $10,000
- Lander Contractor License Bond – $2,000

The cost of your bond will be a fraction of the total bond amount. Many contractors secure these bonds for as low as 1-3% of the bond amount. The better your credit score is, the lower your premium may be.
