Before you excavate, bore, or build in a City of Cameron, TX street or right-of-way, the city requires a construction/excavation permit backed by proof of a bond — the type and amount set by the director of financial services based on the size and kind of your project. Pricing is 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















No underwriting queue for the standard right-of-way permit bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the city set on your permit application, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
Submit the executed bond with your permit application to the building official / city secretary. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists.
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 review at all.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information, because this bond does not need one.
