What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Fort Worth Planning and Development Department registers parkway contractors — the ones who pour, construct, build, repair, and rebuild curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and driveways within city limits — and conditions that registration on a surety bond. The $25,000 amount is the commercial and utility requirement.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Fort Worth (the obligee), with the public protected. If a parkway contractor performs defective work or violates Fort Worth ordinances, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond, and the work is typically maintained for a period after completion.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for as long as you're registered, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

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 $25,000 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; 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.
