What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Mountain Brook licenses paving contractors through its Licenses & Permits Office, and conditions the city license on a $10,000 surety bond. Paving work in and around the public right-of-way affects drainage and city streets, so the city wants a financial backstop that the work meets code and won't harm the public.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mountain Brook (the obligee), with the public as the protected parties. If your paving work harms the public or violates the permit, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your city license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

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.
How to file it
File with Licenses & Permits. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Mountain Brook Licenses & Permits Office alongside your contractor license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
