What this bond does
The bond secures the licensed principal's compliance with Amarillo's Code of Ordinances within the City. The form makes the obligation due if the principal fails to meet those requirements; it is not simply a receipt for a remodeling permit.
- Who needs it
- The business applying for Amarillo's residential-remodel contractor classification. Match the legal name, any DBA and that licensed activity instead of selecting the general or new-residential classification solely because it has different bond requirements.
- Who it protects
- The posted form expressly names the City of Amarillo and the owner of the property where the work is done. It preserves liability for earlier defaults after cancellation and provides reasonable attorney fees for timely enforcement under its stated conditions.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Questions about this bond
Is this filed only after I obtain a remodeling permit?
Building Safety places the bond in the residential-remodel contractor-license requirements. Its electronic process reviews the license documentation before issuing the license, after which the contractor can apply for permits. Keep the license filing and project-permit approvals distinct.
Does the bond protect only Amarillo?
The posted undertaking names both the City and the property owner for whom work is done. It conditions liability on the licensed principal's Code compliance. Do not remove the owner obligation or assume a generic City-only form matches.
