The City of Taylor requires a $20,000 bond to register as a drainlayer and connect to the City drain and sewer system. Ours is $600 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every drainlayer. Five-minute application, no credit check on this bond.
















Drainlayer registration bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. No financials and no credit check section.
Fixed-amount contractor bonds like this are among the thousands that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your Taylor drainlayer registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$20,000 bond × 3% = $600, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Taylor licenses drainlayers — contractors who install and connect drains and sewer laterals to the City system — and conditions registration on a $20,000 surety bond. The bond is a workmanship-and-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your promise to make connections to City specifications and to restore any street or right of way you open.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Taylor (the obligee). If a drainlayer's work is defective or you leave the public way unrestored and don't fix it, the City can recover its costs against the bond up to $20,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Drainlayers who do clean work and restore the right of way treat the bond as a registration formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
