What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor bond actually covers
The City of Dumas, TX requires contractors to register with the city before pulling permits, and conditions that registration on a surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work to city building codes and your restoration of any public property you disturb.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Dumas (the obligee), with the city and the public protected. If you violate the building code, leave city property damaged, or abandon permitted work, 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 pull permits and finish to code treat the bond as a registration formality. We issue the amount the city set starting from $100, with no credit check up to $100,000 on the application.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
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 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the City of Dumas. Submit the executed bond with your contractor registration at the city. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
