Lumberton, TX — Building Contractor Bond
Lumberton's published Ordinance 21-1259 offers a permit bond or the specified commercial general liability insurance for contractor registration. If using the bond route, its rule calls for the greater of $10,000 or 10% of the project valuation and a bond for each permitted project—not a flat $10,000 annual blanket bond.

What this bond does
The ordinance links the contractor's security to the permit applied for. Keep that project obligation separate from contractor registration, which the ordinance renews annually from its date of issuance.
- Who needs it
- The contracting person, firm or business electing the permit-bond route for construction or repair requiring a Lumberton permit, including a contractor subletting the work. Confirm the site, permitted work and valuation used for the filing.
- Who it protects
- The written ordinance makes the bond for the benefit of persons dealing with the contractor and conditions it on faithful performance of duties and compliance with the City's ordinances pertaining to the permit. Follow the City's accepted execution and recipient entries for that obligation.

Questions about this bond
Must I buy a bond if I use the insurance route?
The published ordinance offers a permit bond or commercial general liability insurance meeting its requirements. Confirm the evidence and route accepted for your application before buying; merely having a policy does not prove that the City has accepted it.
Does annual contractor registration make this a flat annual bond?
The ordinance renews registration annually from issuance but requires a bond for each permitted project when that route is elected. Its sum is the greater of $10,000 or 10% of project valuation, not automatically $10,000 for all work.
