About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Beaumont requires roofing contractors to have a surety bond on file with the city before performing work — no contractor may act without first obtaining a bond from the city. The roofing requirement is a $15,000 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 roofing, repair, and related work and stands behind your compliance with Beaumont's construction code; if your work is defective or violates the ordinance, 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. 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.

City of Beaumont — Contractor bond (Code of Ordinances Art. 24.01)The City of Beaumont requires a roofing contractor to have a surety bond on file with the city before performing work — no person acting as a contractor may perform construction work without first obtaining a bond from the city (Beaumont Code of Ordinances, Article 24.01 — General Provisions). The roofing amount is $15,000; a homeowner doing work on their own homestead is exempt. Confirm the amount and form on your application; the city sets the terms.

After you buy

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 $15,000 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.

How to file it

File with the City of Beaumont. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the city before roofing work begins. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $150 at the $15,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Beaumont roofing bond?The premium is $150, flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, not a percentage of the $15,000 amount. The $15,000 is set by the City of Beaumont, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $15,000?No. You pay $150. The $15,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond?The City of Beaumont requires it of roofing contractors. No person may act as a contractor without first having a bond on file with the city.
Is there a credit check?No credit check: the application collects no credit information. Most applications like this approve instantly.
Do I need the bond to work on my own home?No. The Beaumont ordinance exempts a person doing work themselves on their own residence held as a homestead. The bond is for contractors doing roofing work for others.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
