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 no credit check.

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.

After you buy

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.

If a claim is made

A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.

The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $50,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.

Renewal and term

The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

File with the city inspector. Your executed bond, in the name of the City of West Lake Hills, arrives by email ready to deliver to the city inspector with your demolition permit application. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $250 at the $50,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
