The City of Edinburg requires a $10,000 bond to be licensed as a contractor in the City. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. No credit check.
















Contractor license bonds are about 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-amount bonds like this issue right after purchase.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of Edinburg contractor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Edinburg licenses contractors and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. It is a public-protection guarantee that your work meets the City's building and permit requirements and that you restore any public property you affect.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Edinburg (the obligee). If your work violates City codes or damages public infrastructure, 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. Contractors who build to code and keep their license current treat the bond as a routine line on the City checklist.
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 $10,000 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.
File with the City of Edinburg. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of Edinburg contractor license application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
