Fort Worth, TX Street and Storm Drain Contractor Bond
Overview
Street and storm drain contractors working in Fort Worth, Texas are required to carry this bond before the city will grant them a license to operate. Fort Worth uses this bond to protect the public and city infrastructure from substandard or incomplete work on streets, curbs, drainage systems, and related right-of-way improvements. If a licensed contractor causes damage or fails to meet city standards, this bond gives the city a financial remedy. Buying it is a straightforward step that unlocks your ability to work legally in Fort Worth.
Who Needs This Bond?
Paving companies, storm drain installers, and contractors who perform street construction or repair work within Fort Worth city limits are the primary applicants for this bond. Any contractor who cuts into, builds upon, or installs drainage infrastructure within Fort Worth's public right-of-way will be directed to obtain this bond. If the City of Fort Worth has asked you to produce a surety bond as part of your contractor registration or licensing paperwork, this is the bond you need.
What is this Bond For?
This bond guarantees that licensed street and storm drain contractors in Fort Worth will perform their work according to city standards and regulations. It protects the City of Fort Worth — as the obligee — against financial loss caused by a contractor's failure to complete work properly, restore disturbed areas, or comply with permit conditions. The bond does not cover the contractor's own losses; it exists to protect the city and the public. As the contractor, you are the principal and you are responsible for keeping this bond active while your license remains in effect.
When is it Required?
Before Fort Worth will issue or renew a street and storm drain contractor license, applicants are required to submit proof of this bond. The requirement typically surfaces when you submit your licensing or registration application to the city's relevant department. You will not receive approval to begin permitted work on Fort Worth streets or storm drain systems until the bond is on file. Having the bond in hand before you submit your application keeps the process moving without delays.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a City of Fort Worth requirement and applies only within Fort Worth city limits. It is not a statewide Texas license bond and does not satisfy bonding requirements in any other Texas municipality or county. All work covered by this bond — streets, curbs, drainage infrastructure, and public right-of-way improvements — must be located within Fort Worth's jurisdiction.
