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 sign builder files a $3,000 surety bond to register and pull sign permits. The bond is a compliance guarantee standing behind your faithful performance of the City's sign and building code on signs erected inside city limits.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Abilene (the obligee). If a sign builder erects a sign in violation of the City's code, damages public property, 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. Permit your signs and build to code and the bond is just a registration formality — and we keep your $3,000 filing continuous.
