About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A Dallas paving bond is a restoration guarantee to the City of Dallas. When you pave or cut into a public street, the city wants assurance that the pavement will be restored to standard and any damage to the right-of-way made good.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dallas (the obligee). If you leave a cut unrestored or the work fails to meet city standards, the city can recover its restoration cost against the bond, up to $10,000.

This bond is filed as a wet-ink original and expires on December 31 under the City of Dallas bond form. We mail you the executed original to sign and file, and we track the renewal so your standing with the city's street department stays continuous.
