What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Harvey requires every contractor who performs work within city limits to register with its Department of Planning, Building and Inspectional Services — registration is conditioned on a $20,000 surety bond. A property owner using an unregistered contractor risks the same enforcement exposure as the contractor itself.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Harvey (the obligee), with property owners and the City as the protected parties. If a registered contractor's work causes covered harm or breaches the registration conditions, a claim can be brought against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Harvey contractor registrations expire one year from the date of registration, so we track your term and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration to keep your $20,000 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 $20,000 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 Planning & Building. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your City of Harvey contractor registration application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
