What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Abilene registers contractors by trade, and an irrigation contractor files a $5,000 surety bond to register and pull irrigation permits. The bond is a compliance guarantee standing behind your faithful performance of the City's code — including backflow and cross-connection protection — on irrigation work inside city limits.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Abilene (the obligee). If a contractor violates the City's code or leaves the City to correct work, the City — or a harmed party — can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Pull proper permits and protect the water supply and the bond is just a registration formality — and we keep your $5,000 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 $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.
