About this bond

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.
