What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Beaumont requires building contractors to have a surety bond on file with the city before performing construction — no contractor may act without first obtaining a bond from the city. The building contractor requirement is a $25,000 bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Beaumont (the obligee), with the public and your customers protected. The bond covers your erecting, constructing, enlarging, repairing, moving, improving, converting, or demolishing of buildings and structures and stands behind your compliance with Beaumont's construction code.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. A homeowner doing work on their own homestead is exempt. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your filing stays current.

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 $25,000 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.
