The City of Lago Vista requires a $10,000 bond to register as a licensed contractor. Ours is $100 — the price you see is the checkout price, the same for every contractor. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit check.
















A city contractor license bond is among the simplest in surety. Here's the whole process:
Business details, the type of contractor, and an effective date. That is the application. No credit check.
Fixed-amount city bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Lago Vista's permit / contractor-registration office. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A contractor license bond is a code-compliance guarantee to the City of Lago Vista. Registering as a licensed contractor, you agree to follow the city's building codes and permit rules on the work you perform inside the city.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lago Vista (the obligee). If you violate the city's contractor ordinance or leave permitted work in violation of code, a valid claim can be paid up to $10,000.
The bond must stay active while your contractor license is current. Let it lapse and the city can suspend your registration — so we track it and notify you ahead of expiration to keep your $10,000 filing continuous.
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 $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
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.
File with the city. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Lago Vista's permit / contractor-registration office. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
