What it is and who needs it.
What the contractor license bond covers
A contractor license bond is a compliance guarantee. The City of Irving conditions contractor registration — and the permits that come with it — on a surety bond that backs your compliance with the City's building codes, permit rules, and registration ordinances.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Irving (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If you violate the City's contractor or permit rules — work without a permit, fail an ordered correction — the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who register, permit, and pass inspection treat the bond as a registration formality. We issue the amount the City set, priced at 0.5% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, 0.525 minimum — no credit check up to $100,000.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the City of Irving. Submit the executed bond with your City of Irving contractor registration. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists.
What sets the price
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount plus a $25 fee, $125 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
