What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Wichita Falls, TX Building Inspections division, part of Development Services, requires a contractor to register with the city — and to post a code compliance bond as a condition of that registration — before pulling building permits inside the city. The bond is a public-protection guarantee that the contractor will build to the codes and ordinances the city has adopted.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Wichita Falls (the obligee), with the city and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a contractor violates the adopted building codes and the city has to remedy the work or a resident is harmed by the violation, the city or the affected party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who build to code treat the $25,000 bond as a registration formality, not a risk. We issue this tier for $250 flat, with no credit section on the application.
