What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Mountain Brook licenses contractors through its Licenses & Permits Office, and conditions the license or permit on a surety bond filed with the city. For blasting — the highest-risk trade on the list — the city sets the penal sum at $100,000, reflecting the damage a mishandled blast can do to nearby property.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mountain Brook (the obligee), with the public as the protected parties. The bond guarantees that your work will not cause harm to the public and that you will follow the city's permit conditions.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of your city license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
