The City of Sherman requires a roofing contractor to file a $20,000 surety bond as a condition of registering to do roofing work in the city. Ours is $200 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















City contractor bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Fixed city bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your City of Sherman roofing contractor registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A City of Sherman roofing contractor bond is a compliance-and-consumer-protection guarantee. It stands behind your promise to do roofing work in line with the City of Sherman's building code and contractor ordinances and the permits you pull.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Sherman (the obligee), with city residents as the protected parties. If you leave code-violating work or a homeowner with an uncorrected, code-related loss, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the term and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your Sherman registration stays backed.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
