What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Mobile issues permits for special events held on city property or streets — parades, festivals, races, and similar gatherings. As a condition of the permit, the City can require a $5,000 surety bond from the organizer.
The bond is a compliance-and-restoration guarantee to the City: it stands behind your obligation to clean up after the event, restore any city property or right-of-way you used, and follow the conditions of the permit. If you leave damage or unpaid city costs, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Organizers who clean up and follow their permit treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

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 $5,000 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.
