Overview
Working in Kerrville? If you're a contractor pulling permits or registering to do work inside city limits, the City of Kerrville requires a Contractor's License Bond before you can operate legally. This bond protects the city and its residents by guaranteeing you'll comply with local ordinances, building codes, and permit conditions. It's a local requirement — not your Texas state license — and it's specific to work performed within Kerrville's jurisdiction.
Who Needs This Bond?
General contractors, specialty trade contractors, and remodelers doing permitted work in Kerrville all need this bond. If you're a roofing contractor, plumber, electrician, or HVAC tech registering with the city to pull permits, this bond is part of that process. Any contractor who has been told by the City of Kerrville that a bond is required to get registered or licensed locally needs to secure this before moving forward.
What is this Bond For?
This bond holds contractors accountable to the City of Kerrville's local building and licensing requirements. If a contractor fails to meet code, abandons a job, or causes damage tied to non-compliance, the bond provides a financial remedy for the city or an injured party. It's not a performance guarantee for your client — it's your pledge to the city that you'll operate by the rules. The bond keeps the local permit and registration system honest.
When is it Required?
Before the City of Kerrville issues your local contractor registration or approves you to pull building permits, this bond must be in place. It comes up at the registration desk — when you're submitting your application to the city's building or development department. You won't get your permit-pulling privileges in Kerrville until the city has a valid bond on file in your name. Don't wait until you have a job lined up; get bonded first so you're ready to move.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond applies exclusively within the City of Kerrville, Texas. It satisfies the local contractor bonding requirement set by Kerrville's municipal government — not the state. If you do work in other Texas cities or counties, those jurisdictions will have their own separate bond requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What triggers a claim on the Kerrville Contractor's License Bond, and who files it?
A claim is triggered when a contractor violates the terms of their local registration or permit — things like failing to meet code, causing property damage tied to non-compliant work, or abandoning a project in breach of local requirements. The City of Kerrville or an affected property owner can file a claim against the bond. The bond exists to cover losses caused by contractor misconduct or non-compliance within city limits, not general business disputes between you and your client.
Does this bond satisfy my Texas state contractor license requirement?
No. The City of Kerrville Contractor's License Bond is a local city requirement only. It satisfies Kerrville's municipal bonding condition for contractor registration or permitting — it has nothing to do with any state-level license issued by the State of Texas or a Texas state licensing board. If your trade requires a separate Texas state license, that license may carry its own bond requirement, which is a completely different bond.
Does this bond need to be in place before I bid on work in Kerrville, or only before I start?
Technically, the bond is required before the City of Kerrville will grant your contractor registration or allow you to pull permits — which means it should be secured before you even submit bids on jobs that require city permits. If a project requires a permit and you're not yet registered with the city, you can't legally pull that permit when the job is awarded. Get bonded before you start bidding so you're not scrambling after you land the contract.
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.
