Highland Park, Texas Contractor Permit Bonds

The local Building Inspection Department requires various mandates of contractors who perform construction projects within the Town of Highland Park, Texas. These regulations include specific licensure requirements and sometimes a surety bond.

If you are a contractor that is in the business of constructing and repairing public sidewalks, driveways, curbs, gutters, and/or alleyways, you will need the appropriate permit and a $2,000 Concrete Bond before work may begin. Contractors that perform excavation projects in public right-of-way areas (does not include street pavings) will need a permit and a $10,000 Right-of-Way Bond.

The main purpose of a Contractor Permit Bond is to protect the Town of Highland Park and its residents from financial losses in rare cases that a contractor commits a regulation violation or breach of contract. The Concrete Bond and the Right-of-Way Bond also provide compensation for acts of negligence, poor workmanship, and fraud. However, if any of these transgressions do occur, the damaged party has a right to take action on the applicable bond. Jet investigates each bond claim and if found to be justified, funds from the bond will be used as a reimbursement for losses incurred by the claimant and may also be used to cover the cost of hiring a new contractor to complete the construction project up to code standards. 

For example, if you are a concrete contractor that has been hired to construct a new sidewalk for a park along Turtle Creek, you will be expected to follow the regulations of your permit and uphold any contractual agreements that you have made with the Town of Highland Park. Once the project has been completed, a two-year maintenance condition will be put in place. So if the Town requests a curb to be repaired, you will be required to complete this maintenance request in a timely manner. Failure to fulfill this contractual obligation may lead to the Town taking action on your Concrete Bond and refusing to work with your business in the future. It is in your best interest to avoid these scenarios and complete all construction jobs to the best of your ability. 

As for renewing either the Concrete Permit Bond or the Right-of-Way Bond, all you need to do is give the Jet a call at 855-296-2663 and our team can help you out right away!
