About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

An HVAC and refrigeration contractor bond is a compliance-and-consumer-protection guarantee. The City of Palestine wants a financial backstop that you will follow the City's mechanical code and permit rules and perform work for residents and businesses honestly.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Palestine (the obligee), with city customers as the protected parties. If a contractor violates the City's mechanical/permit rules or causes harm covered by the bond, the City or a harmed customer can recover against it.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pull permits and pass inspection treat the bond as a registration formality. We track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
