The City of Hondo requires a plumbing contractor to file a $1,000 surety bond as a condition of registering to do plumbing work in the city. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















City contractor bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed city bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your City of Hondo plumbing contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
