What it is and who needs it.
What the Homewood paving bond guarantees
When a contractor cuts, paves, or excavates in a city street or right-of-way in Homewood — for a utility tie-in, a driveway approach, or roadwork — the City of Homewood requires a $10,000 bond before issuing the permit.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Homewood (the obligee). The bond guarantees you restore the pavement and right-of-way to the city’s standard and follow its excavation rules. If you leave damage the city has to fix, Homewood can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who patch and restore properly treat the bond as a permit formality. The amount is fixed at $10,000; we issue it at $100 flat, and no credit check.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
