About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

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 $10,000 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. 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.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
