About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Abilene registers contractors by trade, and a plumbing contractor files a $5,000 surety bond to register — only a licensed plumber may make a service connection to a City sewer main. The bond is a compliance guarantee standing behind your faithful performance of the City's plumbing code 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 damages City infrastructure, violates the plumbing 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. Connect properly and plumb to code and the bond is just a registration formality — and we keep your $5,000 filing continuous.
