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.

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 the City. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Aledo contractor license application or renewal. 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.
