About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Gilmer conditions a contractor's registration on a $10,000 surety bond filed with the city. It's a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee — that you'll follow the city's building and permitting rules and won't leave the public or the city exposed to defective or unpermitted work.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Gilmer (the obligee). If you violate the city's construction ordinances or fail to correct work the city flags, 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 pull their permits treat the $10,000 bond as a registration formality.

City of Gilmer — Building / Permits & InspectionsThe City of Gilmer requires a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of registering as a contractor; the bond amount and terms are set by the City of Gilmer's Building / Permits department. We have not cited a specific ordinance section because the requirement is administered at the department level — confirm the current amount on your registration packet, and we'll match it.
