About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Texarkana requires contractors to hold a city contractor's license and post a surety bond as a condition of working within city limits. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the City of Texarkana building and contractor ordinances and to work under proper permits.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Texarkana (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor ordinance and the city or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.

Because the City of Texarkana sets the amount, you enter whatever figure your city application names. Enter that figure — the premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, set by the amount the city named, not a credit or underwriting tier. Same honest pricing as every bond we write.

After you buy

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 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.

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 the City of Texarkana. Submit the executed bond with your City of Texarkana contractor's license application. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $500,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

One application, issued on the spot.

Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Texarkana set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
