About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of West Lake Hills will not issue a demolition permit until the contractor delivers to the city inspector a $50,000 surety bond in the name of the city. The bond holds the city free and harmless from damage or loss from the contractor's acts or neglect, and guarantees the demolition work is completed and remedied as the inspector requires.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of West Lake Hills (the obligee). The bond is held for the benefit of the city and of any person injured or damaged by the contractor's acts, neglect, or failure to repair defective workmanship — so a harmed neighbor can recover against it too.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. At $50,000 the premium is $250 flat, and the application collects no credit information.

City of West Lake Hills Code of Ordinances (Demolition)Under the City of West Lake Hills Code of Ordinances, no person or entity is issued a demolition permit until it delivers to the city inspector a surety bond of $50,000 in the name of the city, with a recognized surety company approved by the inspector. The bond holds the city harmless and is held for the benefit of the city or any person injured by the principal's acts, neglect, or failure to repair defective workmanship.
