Lakeway permit bonds.
$100 flat.
The City of Lakeway requires contractors performing construction or improvements to post a $10,000 permit bond before Building & Development Services will issue certain permits. Ours is $100 flat — the price our carrier sets for this specific bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A City of Lakeway permit bond is a code-compliance guarantee. When you pull a permit for construction or improvements, Lakeway wants assurance that the permitted work will comply with city code and any conditions of approval — and that the public and the city aren't left covering the cost if it doesn't.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lakeway (the obligee). If your permitted work violates city code or the conditions set by Building & Development Services, the city can make a claim against the bond.
The bond must stay active while your permit obligations are open. Let it lapse and the city can hold or revoke your permit — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
