About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Rockdale requires contractors to register before they pull permits or begin construction inside city limits, and for many trades that registration is conditioned on a surety bond filed with the city. The bond guarantees to Rockdale that you will work to code and honor your permit obligations.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Rockdale (the obligee). If a contractor's faulty work or failure to follow the city's construction rules causes a loss, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the city set, ready to file, with pricing from $100 — the application collects no credit information, and smaller bond amounts price at the $100 minimum.
