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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
