About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A City of Hondo plumbing contractor bond is a compliance guarantee tied to the city's plumbing and building code. It stands behind your promise to do plumbing work in line with the City of Hondo's ordinances and the permits you pull.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hondo (the obligee), with city residents as the protected parties. If you leave code-violating work or damage public infrastructure connecting to city water or sewer, a claim can be made against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your Hondo registration stays backed. State plumbing licensure is separate; this bond is the City of Hondo's local requirement.

City of Hondo — Building / PermitsThe City of Hondo requires this bond as a condition of registering as a plumbing contractor; the $1,000 amount and the bond terms are set by the City of Hondo through its Building / Permits department. We issue the bond on the form the City provides — confirm the current plumbing contractor requirements with the City of Hondo.

How much is the City of Hondo plumbing contractor bond?The premium is $100, set by our carrier for this specific bond — not a percentage of the $1,000 amount, and the same for every contractor. The $1,000 amount is set by the City of Hondo.
Do I pay the $1,000?No. You pay $100. The $1,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
