What it is and who needs it.
What the sign license bond actually covers
The City of McAllen, TX licenses anyone who erects, constructs, reconstructs, installs, replaces, rents, leases, or services a sign requiring a permit within city limits. As a condition of that license, the applicant must furnish a surety bond, payable to the city or the affected property owner, in an amount the city sets up to $2,000.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of McAllen or the affected property owner (the obligee). If a sign you are responsible for is not built or maintained according to city code, the bond stands behind the cost of making it right.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Sign installers who build to code treat the bond as a licensing formality. We issue it starting from $100, with no credit review on the application.
