What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
When you cut, bore, or work in a City of Kerrville street or highway — for a utility line, a driveway approach, a tie-in — the city wants assurance that the roadway is restored to its standards afterward. The street or highway permit is conditioned on a $5,000 bond, and that bond is the assurance.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kerrville (the obligee). If you damage the street or fail to restore it to city standards, the city can recover the cost of repair against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore the roadway properly treat the bond as a permit formality.

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 $5,000 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.
