The City of Lockhart requires a license & permit bond as a condition of certain city licenses and permits. The city sets the amount on your license or permit — pricing is from $100, with your exact price shown at the application. Pricing is set at 0.5% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum.
















No underwriting queue for the standard license & permit bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:
Your details, the bond amount the city required, and the effective date — that is the application.
No waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Most applicants qualify instantly.
Submit the executed bond with your license or permit application at the City of Lockhart. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
The City of Lockhart conditions certain licenses and permits on a license & permit surety bond. The bond is a guarantee that you will comply with the city ordinance the license or permit is issued under — and make good on losses if you do not.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lockhart (the obligee), with the city and any harmed member of the public as the protected parties. If you violate the terms of your city license or permit, a claim can be made against the bond.
Because this is a general license & permit bond, the amount depends on which Lockhart license or permit you hold — enter whatever the city named, and we issue it starting from $100, with the application collecting no credit check up to $100,000.
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 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.
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 of Lockhart. Submit the executed bond with your license or permit application at the City of Lockhart. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $100,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Lockhart set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
