What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An excavation permit bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Balch Springs. When you cut into a City street, alley, or right-of-way, the City wants a financial backstop that you'll backfill, compact, and repave the cut to City standards — and stand behind that repair if it settles or fails.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Balch Springs (the obligee). If your restoration fails or you abandon the cut, the City can repair it and recover its cost against the bond up to $5,000.
It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the cut properly treat the bond as a permit formality, and we keep the filing continuous with renewal reminders.

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.
