About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A City of Kirby home improvement contractor bond is a compliance-and-consumer-protection guarantee. It stands behind your promise to follow the City of Kirby's building and contractor ordinances and to perform home improvement work without harming the property owners you serve.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kirby (the obligee), with city residents as the protected parties. If you violate a city ordinance or leave a homeowner with an uncorrected, code-related loss, 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, keeping your Kirby registration backed by a continuous bond.

City of Kirby — Building / PermitsThe City of Kirby requires this bond as a condition of registering as a home improvement contractor; the $5,000 amount and the bond terms are set by the City of Kirby through its Building / Permits department. We issue the bond on the form the City provides — confirm the current registration requirements with City of Kirby Building / Permits.

How much is the City of Kirby home improvement contractor bond?The premium is $100, set by our carrier for this specific bond — not a percentage of the $5,000 amount, and the same for every contractor. The $5,000 amount is set by the City of Kirby.

Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
