What it is and who needs it.
What the Lake Charles contractor bond guarantees
The City of Lake Charles licenses contractors who build, alter, or repair structures inside the city. As a condition of that license, Lake Charles requires a fixed $7,500 surety bond filed with its permits and inspections division.
The bond is a compliance and public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your adherence to the city's building code and contractor ordinances and protects the city and the public against losses from code violations or unpermitted work.
It is a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lake Charles (the obligee). It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety.
