The City of West Lake Hills requires a $10,000 bond from swimming pool contractors who build in the city. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, identical for every contractor. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Contractor bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no credit section, no financials, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Contractor bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of West Lake Hills to register as a pool contractor. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of West Lake Hills regulates swimming pool construction within the city and conditions a contractor's registration on a $10,000 surety bond. It is a code-compliance and restoration guarantee: that you build to the city's adopted codes and leave public property as you found it.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of West Lake Hills (the obligee). If your work violates city code, damages public property, or you abandon a permitted job, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. Pool contractors who build to code and pull proper permits treat the bond as a registration formality.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information, because this bond doesn't need it.
