What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Wichita Falls, TX Building Inspections Department registers and licenses contractors, and offers a code compliance bond at three tiers — $25,000, $50,000, and $100,000 — sized to the scope of work a contractor registers for. This entry is the $50,000 tier. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind a contractor's work to city building codes.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Wichita Falls (the obligee), with the city and the public protected. If you violate the building code 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. Contractors who build to code treat the $50,000 bond as a registration formality, not a risk. We issue it for $500 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 $50,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
