About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Longview, TX requires contractors to register and post a $50,000 bond before pulling permits. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work to city building codes and your restoration of any public property you disturb on a project.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Longview (the obligee), with the city and the public protected. If you violate the building code, damage city property, or abandon permitted work, the city can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code treat the $50,000 bond as a registration formality, not a risk. We issue it for $250 flat, with no credit section on the application.
