What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A city master plumber license bond is a code-compliance guarantee. The City of Oak Ridge licenses master plumbers and wants a financial backstop that you'll do plumbing work to the adopted code and the city's licensing rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Oak Ridge (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If you violate the city's plumbing or licensing ordinances and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Licensed master plumbers who work to code treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
