In the City of Bowie, those doing construction work (alterations, additions, or demolitions) to structures, plumbing, or electrical or mechanical fixtures need to register with the Building Permits and Inspections Department, as well as provide financial assurance in the form of a $20,000 Contractor Bond. The bond is a promise that any failure to complete the project will not cause monetary loss to the public.

For filing the bond, you can leave it to Jet; or, if you need to file it yourself, you can choose to have the original mailed to you (perhaps along with the Contractor License Application). To submit the bond, you must send it to:
City of Bowie
Building Permits and Inspections Department
304 Lindsey St
Bowie, TX 76230
Contractor Bonds in Bowie expire on December 31st. If you purchase the bond on annual terms, you need to report the bond active to the City of Bowie. You can purchase a bond on Jet’s monthly plan and leave it to us.
Registration is required for those who are altering, constructing, or demolishing properties that they do not own. A homestead exemption from registering can be made if the person doing the construction work lives on the property, provided that they follow all applicable permits and inspections and follow building code standards.
You will receive notice if any of your work is unsatisfactory, such as a violation of the City of Bowie International Codes or damage sustained from your negligence (or the negligence of the workers under your supervision). The Building Inspector will provide notice and allow three (3) days for you to make corrections. If you are unable to or refuse to fix the issues, a claim will be filed against the bond for reimbursement to the home or property owner.
Keep in mind that a claim payout doesn’t release you from responsibility — you must pay Jet back in the amount of the claim.
