What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Alamo Heights registers home improvement contractors and conditions that registration on a $5,000 surety bond filed with the City. The bond is a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee: it stands behind your work in the city and your compliance with the City's building and permit rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Alamo Heights (the obligee), with property owners and the public as the protected parties. If a contractor damages city property, leaves a permit unresolved, or violates city code, 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 pull their permits and finish their work treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
