About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Westchester County licenses plumbing contractors and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the County's plumbing code and licensing rules, and the work you perform for County residents.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Westchester County (the obligee), with your customers and the public as protected parties. If a contractor violates the plumbing code, leaves work uncompleted, or causes damage, the harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who do clean, code-compliant work treat the bond as a license formality.

Westchester County — Office of Consumer ProtectionWestchester County requires this $10,000 surety bond as a condition of its plumbing contractor license; the bond amount and terms are set by the County, and licensing questions are handled by the Westchester County Office of Consumer Protection. We frame the requirement conservatively rather than cite a specific code section we could not fully verify — confirm filing details with the County.
