What it is and who needs it.
What the lease performance bond covers
A lease performance bond is a guarantee of a tenant's obligations. When you lease city-owned property from the City of El Paso — a concession, a hangar, a ground lease, retail space — the City wants assurance you will pay rent, maintain the premises, and restore the property at lease end.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal / tenant), the surety carrier, and the City of El Paso (the obligee / landlord). If you default on the lease — unpaid rent, damage beyond ordinary wear, failure to restore — the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Tenants who pay on time and maintain the premises treat the bond as a lease formality. Pricing is 2% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum; because the amount can be large, this bond also runs a soft credit pull — never a hard inquiry — as a routine check.

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
E-sign & file with the City. Pay online and receive the executed lease performance bond, ready to file with the City of El Paso real-estate / lease office. Wet-ink originals mailed when the City insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
