Who Needs This Bond?

What is this Bond For?

If a contractor causes harm — through faulty work, code violations, or failure to perform — an affected party can make a claim against the bond for financial recovery. The bond exists to protect Childress residents and the city, not the contractor.
When is it Required?
At the point of applying for or renewing a contractor license with the City of Childress, the city will require proof of this bond before issuing your license or permit authority.

Where Does it Apply?
