The Contractor License Bond is required by the City of Converse, Texas to act as a form of financial assurance for the Building Department, as well as customers of the licensed contractor. For example, if a Converse resident enters into a contract with a contractor for a home improvement project and the contractor fails to fulfill any contractual requirements, the damaged customer may file a claim on the Contractor License Bond. If the claim is found to be justified, funds from the Jet Insurance Company will be used to cover the financial losses incurred by the claimant.
To put it simply, the Contractor Bond protects customers of the general contractor from financial damages in cases where the contractor commits a license or contractual violation and refuses to resolve the problem.
If you plan on making a career out of home improvement construction, you will need to renew your general contractor license, as well as the Contractor License Bond, each year with the Converse Building Department. No need to worry though, the Jet team has the tools to make this renewal process quick and easy!
If you are a part of Jet’s monthly payment plan, you won’t even have to worry about renewing your Contractor License Bond. As long as payments are continuously made, your bond will remain active until cancellation is officially sought.
As for bondholders who purchased the Contractor License Bond in full and upfront, Jet will send you a renewal invoice prior to your bond term expiration date via mail and email. Simply complete the standard payment due and your bond will remain active with the City of Converse for an additional year.
