Kerrville, TX Street or Highway Permit Bond
Overview
Kerrville requires contractors to post a Street or Highway Permit Bond before they can break ground on, excavate, or alter any city street or public right-of-way. This bond protects the City of Kerrville and its residents by guaranteeing that any damage to pavement, curbing, utilities, or other public infrastructure will be repaired to city standards. If the permitted work is completed correctly and the right-of-way is restored, the bond is simply released at the end of the project. It's a condition of your permit, not a fee.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you are a contractor, utility company, developer, or any individual who has applied for a street or highway work permit from the City of Kerrville, you need this bond before work can begin. That includes anyone cutting into a city road, installing underground utilities beneath a public street, or performing any construction activity that disturbs the city right-of-way. Kerrville issues this permit requirement to ensure someone is financially responsible for restoring the roadway to its original or better condition. Without the bond in place, Kerrville will not issue your permit.
What is this Bond For?
This bond creates a financial guarantee between you as the principal, the City of Kerrville as the obligee, and the surety company. If your work damages a city street and you fail to make repairs, Kerrville can file a claim against the bond to recover the cost of restoration. The bond does not pay for ordinary project expenses — it only activates when there is an unresolved failure to meet the permit's restoration requirements. Think of it as a promise backed by a financial guarantee that Kerrville's infrastructure will be left whole.
When is it Required?
Each time you pull a street or highway permit in Kerrville, the bond requirement is triggered fresh for that permitted scope of work. Because the bond is tied to a specific permit rather than an annual license, you may need to obtain a new bond or have your existing bond updated whenever you begin a new project that disturbs a city right-of-way. Work cannot legally start until Kerrville has confirmed the bond is in place. Do not let your bond lapse mid-project — the city can halt work and issue penalties if coverage is not continuous.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a local City of Kerrville requirement and applies only to permitted street or highway work within Kerrville's city limits in Kerr County, Texas. It is not a state of Texas license bond and has no effect in neighboring municipalities or unincorporated county areas. All bond documentation must be issued in compliance with the City of Kerrville's permit office requirements.
