The City of Denison requires a $1,000 bond to register as a sidewalks, drives, curbs & gutters contractor. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit check.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application. No credit check.
Small fixed license bonds like this are among the thousands that issue right after purchase.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Denison with your contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Denison conditions registration as a sidewalk, drive, curb & gutter contractor on a $1,000 surety bond. Because this work sits in and along the public right-of-way, the bond is a guarantee that you'll build to city standards and not leave a defect or hazard in the public way.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Denison (the obligee). If your curb, drive approach, or sidewalk fails to meet city specs or damages public infrastructure and you don't fix it, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pour to spec treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
