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.
