Lubbock contractor bonds.
$100 flat.
The City of Lubbock requires a $20,000 contractor compliance bond as a condition of registering to work and pull permits in the city. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the price you pay, 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 contractor compliance bond is a code-compliance guarantee the City of Lubbock holds while you work in the city. It stands behind your obligation to follow Lubbock's building, permitting, and contractor registration ordinances across the jobs you take on.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Lubbock (the obligee), with the public and property owners as the protected parties. If you violate the city's contractor or building rules, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who register, pull permits, and build to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
