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.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

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 $2,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with the City of Nacogdoches. 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.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $2,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
