About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the performance bond guarantees

When you contract with the City of Phoenix for public work — or build a permitted improvement the City will accept — the City requires a performance bond. It is the classic three-party guarantee that the project gets built right.

The bond runs between you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Phoenix (the obligee). It guarantees you complete the work according to the contract and City specifications. If you default, the City can call on the surety to finish the job or pay the cost of completion, up to the bond amount.

The bond amount equals the contract value or the amount of work the City names — so the premium scales with the job. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We write it at a flat 3%; larger contract amounts get a brief underwriter review.

City of Phoenix — public works contractingThe City of Phoenix requires a performance bond, naming the City of Phoenix as obligee, on public works contracts and many permitted improvements, guaranteeing completion of the work to the contract and City specifications. Arizona public works performance bonds are generally written at 100% of the contract amount (see A.R.S. Title 34 for public-works projects); the bond amount equals the contract value or amount of work the City names. Confirm the required amount with the City for your contract or permit.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the City of Phoenix performance bond? +
The premium is a flat 3% of the bond amount, with a $275 minimum. The bond amount equals the contract value or amount of work the City named, so the premium scales with the job. Enter that figure and the quote updates.
Do I pay the contract amount? +
No. You pay the 3% premium. The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability to the City if you fail to complete the work — not a deposit, and nobody holds the contract value.
Is there a credit check? +
The standard performance bond is issued without a credit pull. Larger contract amounts may get a quick underwriter review, which can include a soft pull that never affects your credit score.
What does the bond guarantee? +
That you complete the City of Phoenix contract or permitted work to specification. If you default, the City can call on the surety to finish or pay the cost of completion — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Where do I file it? +
With the City of Phoenix, alongside your contract or permit. We issue the executed performance bond ready to submit.
