City of Baytown sign removal bond.

The City of Baytown requires a sign contractor to post a $25,000 sign removal bond before working on signs in the city. Ours is $125 flat — the price set by our carrier for this bond, the same for every contractor. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A sign removal bond is a City-of-Baytown protection guarantee. Sign contractors who erect or service signs in the city must stand behind their work — if a sign is abandoned, left unsafe, or has to be removed and the contractor will not do it, the City can recover the cost of removal against the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Baytown (the obligee). If you fail to remove or remediate a sign as the city ordinance requires, Baytown can claim against the bond up to $25,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who finish and remove their own signs treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
