What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor bond actually covers
The City of Bridge City registers contractors who perform construction within city limits and conditions that registration on a surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it backs your promise to build to the City's codes and honor the conditions of your permits.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bridge City (the obligee). If a contractor violates a building code or permit condition and the City or a property owner is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
The City sets the penal sum. Whatever amount applies to your registration, the bond costs 0.5% of that amount, with a $100 minimum — and if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.

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 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.
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 Bridge City. Submit the executed bond with your contractor registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists on them.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $500,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
