About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Walker conditions a local contractor registration on a $5,000 license bond. It’s a compliance guarantee: that you’ll do permitted work in accordance with the city’s building and permit rules and the conditions of your registration.

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

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull proper permits and follow the city’s rules treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

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 $5,000 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 of Walker. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your City of Walker contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
