About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

City of Nacogdoches Code of Ordinances §§ 78-9, 78-10City of Nacogdoches Code of Ordinances § 78-9 bars the city from issuing a sign permit until a sign contractor's license is secured from the city, and § 78-10 requires the building official to make a person proposing sign work beyond the curb line, or on or above public property, furnish a bond in the amount of $2,000.00 — or an equivalent deposit — to protect the city against costs, losses, or damages from the work, before the permit issues. Confirm the current amount on your registration packet, and we'll match it.
