What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Sealy, TX requires general contractors to register and post a $10,000 bond before pulling permits. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work to city building codes and your restoration of any public property you disturb on a project.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Sealy (the obligee), with the city and the public protected. If you violate the building code, damage city property, or abandon permitted work, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. General contractors who build to code treat the $10,000 bond as a registration formality, not a risk. We issue it for $100 flat, with no credit check on the application.

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 $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
