The City of Round Rock requires contractors to register and post a surety bond before pulling permits in the city. The City sets the amount; the premium is 0.5% of your bond amount, with a $100 minimum — enter the figure on your registration and your exact price appears at the application.
















No underwriting queue for the standard Round Rock contractor bond — enter your amount, pay, and register with the City. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount the City required, and the effective date — that is the application.
No credit check up to $50,000, and most bonds are issued as soon as you pay.
Submit the executed bond with your contractor registration at the City’s building department. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists on them.
The City of Round Rock, in Williamson County just north of Austin, registers contractors who pull permits and perform construction within the city. As a condition of that registration, the City requires a surety bond.
The bond is a code-compliance guarantee: it protects the City if a registered contractor violates the building code, abandons permitted work, or damages public property. The City of Round Rock — the obligee — can recover against the bond.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Round Rock. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code treat it as a registration formality.
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 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
File with the City of Round Rock. Submit the executed bond with your contractor registration at the City’s building department. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the City insists on them.
The premium is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $50,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
Submit the application with the bond amount the City of Round Rock set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
