Fort Worth, TX Parkway Contractor's Bond
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.
