The City of Nacogdoches requires a sign contractor to file a $2,000 bond before it will register you to erect or service signs in the city. Our carrier's rate book prices this specific bond at a flat $100 — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the city's sign contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Nacogdoches regulates who may erect, install, and service signs within the city, and conditions a sign contractor's registration on a $2,000 surety bond filed with the city. It's a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee — that you'll follow the city's sign and building rules and won't leave the public or the city holding the bag for unsafe or unpermitted work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Nacogdoches (the obligee). If you violate the city's sign ordinance or fail to correct work the city flags, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Most sign contractors treat the $2,000 bond as a registration formality and never see a claim.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
