About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Garland requires a sidewalk contractor to post a $2,000 surety bond as a condition of registering and working in the public right-of-way. The bond is a public-property guarantee: it stands behind sidewalk work that meets the city's standards and the proper restoration of the right-of-way you disturb.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Garland (the obligee), with the city as the protected party. If a contractor leaves defective sidewalk work or fails to restore the right-of-way, the city can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active while you are registered to do sidewalk work in the city, so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
