The City of Granbury requires a $5,000 surety bond to register as a contractor with its Building Inspection Department. Ours is $100 flat — the price our carrier sets for this specific bond — the same for every contractor. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Municipal contractor bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the whole process:
Business details and an effective date. No financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed-amount registration bonds like this one usually issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to hand the Granbury Building Inspection Department with your contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A City of Granbury contractor bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee. Granbury wants assurance that the work you permit is built to city code and that the public and the city aren't left covering the cost if you don't follow the rules you registered under.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Granbury (the obligee). If you violate the building code or ordinance under which you registered, the city — or a harmed party — can make a claim against the bond.
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold your Granbury registration. Let it lapse and the city can pull your registration — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't collect credit information.
