Cuero building contractor bonds.
$100 flat.
The City of Cuero will not issue building permits to a registered building contractor until that contractor posts a $5,000 bond or files qualifying general liability coverage naming the city. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. 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
The City of Cuero conditions building contractor registration on a $5,000 surety bond — or, at the contractor's option, on qualifying general liability coverage naming the city as certificate holder. The bond is a guarantee that you'll build to the city's adopted codes and your permit conditions — and that you'll correct work that doesn't meet them.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Cuero (the obligee). If you violate the city's building ordinances or leave defective work that harms the city or the public, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Builders who pull permits and build to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
