What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Aledo does not charge a separate fee for a contractor license — it conditions the license on a $10,000 license and permit bond naming the City of Aledo, filed alongside a certificate of liability insurance and, where the applicant has employees, workers' compensation coverage. The bond stands behind a licensed contractor's work and compliance with the City's permitting requirements.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Aledo (the obligee), with property owners and the City itself as the protected parties. If a licensed contractor fails to perform or leaves a covered claim unpaid, 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 license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out to keep your $10,000 filing continuous.
