What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Willoughby Hills licenses contractors and conditions the license on a $20,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow the city's codes and regulations when performing your contracted work.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Willoughby Hills (the obligee). If a contractor violates city code or causes project-related damage the city has to make right, the city or a 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 pull their permits and build to code treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
