In Kirby, Texas, contractors who are in the business of installing or altering public or private buildings need to have a $5,000 Home Improvement Contractor/Salesman Bond. It is used as a financial guarantee that those fiscally injured will be able to get reimbursement when a contractor violates Building Codes or safety, sanitation or health ordinances and fails to rectify the situation themselves.
Sign up for your Kirby Contractor Bond with Jet to only pay $100. This rate is guaranteed for all customers — you don’t need to turn into a cute little, pink ball and fight off monsters to qualify.

Jet will get your bond form ready once you have completed the purchase. We can send the original bond form directly to the City of Kirby, but if you need to send it yourself, you can choose that option. Once you are ready, email to [email protected] or mail in your bond and any additional documents to:
City of Kirby
ATTN: Surety Bond
112 Bauman St
Kirby, TX 78219
The bond will go into effect and be held by the City until the expiration date of December 31st. You, as the contractor, will be held responsible for the work that you perform during this time and for maintaining the site for an additional six (6) months.
Cancellations can be made by giving the City a 5-day written notice.
The Kirby Contractor Bond protects the City and its people from damages (could be financial) caused by your actions. To avoid claims, you need to do the following:
As long as you do those things, there should be no reason for a claim to go through. But, if it does, you are still responsible for your actions and will need to pay Jet back for any claim payouts. Unlike insurance, surety bonds do not transfer liability and/or guilt which remains with the contractor.
