As for license and permit applications, house mover, concrete, and sign contractors will need to complete the Contractor’s Annual Registration Form. A Right-of-Way Annual Registration Form is also available for contractors that are performing construction within a public right-of-way area. Both forms must be completed and submitted to the Department at the mailing address listed above. 

The City of Irving has also provided a How to Apply for a License or Permit Guide if you have further questions regarding the process. 

The main purpose of each surety bond is to act as a financial assurance that the contractor will follow the regulations of their license or permit, as well as fulfill any contractual obligations that they have agreed to with the client. In cases where the contractor commits a violation or breach of contract and refuses to resolve the problem, the damaged party such as the City of Irving themselves or a private citizen may file a claim on the contractor’s bond to cover any financial losses they have incurred due to the contractor’s transgressions.

For example, it is typical for contractors that are hired onto a right-of-way project to be contractually obligated to maintain the job site area for a certain period of time after construction has been officially completed. A one to two-year maintenance period requirement is common. This requirement is enforced to ensure that the public area will be safe and well maintained in case poor workmanship or damages occur. If a contractor fails to fulfill this obligation, the city or any other damaged party may file a claim on the Right-of-Way Bond to cover financial losses, as well as the cost of hiring a new contractor to complete the work properly.

As for renewing your bond, the Jet team has created a quick and easy renewal process for all of our surety bonds.

Prior to your official bond term expiration date, you will receive a renewal invoice via mail and email. If you are interested in renewing your bond for licensing or permitting reasons, simply complete the standard payment due and you’ll be all set for another term with the Irving Planning and Zoning Department. 

It is important to note that if you are a part of Jet’s monthly payment plan, you won’t have to worry about renewing your bond. As long as payments are continuously made each month, your bond will remain active with the city until cancellation is officially sought.
