What it is and who needs it.
What the right-of-way permit bond actually covers
When you excavate, cut, bore, or build a permanent structure in, over, or under a City of Cameron, TX street or right-of-way, the city requires a permit under its construction-activity ordinance. As a condition of that permit, the applicant must file proof of insurance or a bond, in the type and amount the director of financial services sets based on the size and type of the project.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Cameron (the obligee), with the city and the public protected. If you leave an excavation improperly backfilled, damage the right-of-way, or fail to comply with your permit conditions, the city can recover its cost against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the right-of-way cleanly treat the bond as a permit formality. We issue the amount the city sets starting from $100, with no credit check up to $100,000 at all.

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 Cameron. Submit the executed bond with your permit application to the building official / city secretary. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
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.
