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.
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.
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.

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.
