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.
