What it is and who needs it.
What the Taylor drainlayer bond covers
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.

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.
