Overview
Paving work in Dallas comes with a real accountability requirement — and this bond is how you meet it. Contractors performing paving operations within City of Dallas limits must post a Paving Bond before the city will authorize their work. It guarantees that your paving meets city standards and that Dallas has financial recourse if your work causes damage or fails to comply with local requirements. Get bonded and keep your projects moving.
Who Needs This Bond?
Asphalt contractors, concrete paving crews, and general contractors self-performing paving scopes all need this bond to work in Dallas. If you're cutting into or resurfacing city streets, parking areas, driveways with public access, or any paved surface subject to Dallas permitting, this bond is part of your paperwork. Subcontractors hired specifically for paving work under a larger Dallas project should confirm with the prime contractor whether a separate bond is required under their contract.
What is this Bond For?
This bond protects the City of Dallas and its residents against financial loss caused by a contractor's failure to perform paving work in accordance with city standards. If your crew leaves a roadway in unacceptable condition, causes property damage, or fails to restore a surface to code, the bond gives the city a mechanism to recover costs. It is not a performance bond for a private client — it is a compliance guarantee made to Dallas as the local authority.
When is it Required?
Before the City of Dallas issues a paving permit, your bond must already be on file with the relevant city department. This step comes before you mobilize equipment or break ground — not after. Dallas will not approve permit applications from paving contractors who cannot demonstrate they are properly bonded. Have the bond in hand when you submit your permit paperwork.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to the City of Dallas, Texas. It satisfies a local Dallas requirement and has no effect in surrounding cities, counties, or other Texas jurisdictions. If you are performing paving work in multiple North Texas municipalities, each city may require its own separate bond.

Frequently Asked Questions
What would trigger a claim on my Dallas Paving Bond, and who files it?
A claim is typically filed by the City of Dallas when a bonded contractor fails to complete paving work in compliance with city standards — for example, leaving a road surface improperly restored after excavation, causing pavement failure due to substandard materials, or abandoning a permitted paving job. The city is the obligee and has standing to file. Private property owners generally cannot file a claim directly against this bond; it exists to protect the city's public infrastructure interests.
Does this Dallas Paving Bond also cover my Texas state contractor license?
No. This is a City of Dallas local requirement only. It satisfies Dallas's permitting or registration condition for paving contractors operating within city limits. It has no connection to any Texas state-level contractor licensing authority. If a state license applies to your trade or scope of work, that is a separate requirement with its own bond obligation — this bond does not satisfy it.
Does my bond need to be in place before I bid on Dallas paving work, or only before I start?
The bond must be in place before the City of Dallas will issue your paving permit — which means you need it secured before you can legally start work. As a practical matter, if you are bidding on city or publicly visible Dallas paving contracts, having your bond in hand before you bid demonstrates that you are permit-ready and avoids delays between contract award and mobilization. Don't wait until the permit desk to find out you're not bonded.
What happens after I click Buy This Bond Online?
You'll open the My Bond App portal in a new tab where you can complete the secure online bond application and finish your purchase. Your Bond Titan tab stays open so you can come back and keep browsing.
