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.

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 bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
