Overview
Fort Worth requires contractors who work in or adjacent to city parkways to carry this bond before touching a single inch of public right-of-way. It protects the City of Fort Worth against damage to parkway areas — medians, esplanades, curbs, and landscaped buffers — that occur during permitted construction activity. Contractors who disturb, cut, or work near these protected zones without the bond in place are out of compliance with city requirements. Get bonded before you pull that Fort Worth parkway permit.
Who Needs This Bond?
You're a contractor — general, utility, landscaping, concrete, or excavation — and the City of Fort Worth is telling you this bond is required before your parkway permit gets issued. Any contractor whose scope of work touches, crosses, or disrupts a Fort Worth parkway corridor needs this bond on file with the city. That includes work for private clients where the job site is adjacent to a public parkway. If Fort Worth's permitting desk is holding your application, this bond is the next step.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that any Fort Worth parkway area disturbed during your work will be restored to city standards. If your crew damages curbing, irrigation, landscaping, or the parkway surface and you fail to make repairs, the City of Fort Worth can make a claim against the bond to cover the cost. It holds contractors financially accountable for public infrastructure they disturb — not just their private-property work. The bond runs between you as the contractor, the surety, and the City of Fort Worth as the protected obligee.
When is it Required?
Before your Fort Worth parkway permit is approved, this bond must already be on file with the city. You cannot start work, break ground, or stage equipment in a parkway zone while the bond is pending. Fort Worth's permitting process will not advance your application without proof of the bond. Have it ready before you submit — not after you've already scheduled the crew.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the City of Fort Worth, Texas. It covers any parkway-adjacent or right-of-way-impacting work permitted through Fort Worth's city departments. It is a local Fort Worth requirement, completely separate from any Texas state contractor license bond.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Fort Worth Parkway Contractor's Bond need to be in place before I bid the job or only before I start work?
You need it before Fort Worth will issue your parkway permit — which means you should have it squared away before you commit to a start date. In practice, most contractors working in Fort Worth get bonded before or during the bidding process so there's no delay between winning the contract and pulling the permit. Waiting until after you've been awarded the job creates unnecessary schedule risk.
I work in multiple cities across North Texas. Does my Fort Worth Parkway Contractor's Bond cover work in other jurisdictions?
No. This bond is issued specifically to satisfy the City of Fort Worth's parkway permitting requirements. If you're doing parkway or right-of-way work in Arlington, Dallas, Denton, or any other city, each jurisdiction has its own bonding requirement. Expanding into a new city means obtaining a separate bond for that city — your Fort Worth bond does not transfer or extend to work permitted elsewhere.
Does this bond replace my general liability insurance or workers' compensation coverage?
Not at all — they serve completely different purposes. Your general liability policy covers third-party bodily injury and property damage claims arising from your operations. Workers' comp covers your employees if they're injured on the job. This Fort Worth Parkway Contractor's Bond is a compliance instrument: it guarantees to the City of Fort Worth that you'll restore any parkway area you disturb according to city standards. Fort Worth will likely require all three — the bond, liability coverage, and workers' comp — as separate conditions of your permit.
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.
Can I buy this bond entirely online?
Yes. Bond Titan connects you directly to the online bond application — there's no paperwork to mail in and no agent appointment required to get started.
Is Bond Titan a licensed agency?
Bond Titan is powered by The Southern Agency, a licensed surety bond agency. We've built Bond Titan so you can find the exact bond you were told to buy and get to the purchase flow in seconds.
