What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Milwaukee requires a house-wrecking or house-moving business to file a $20,000 performance bond to hold a wreckers-or-movers license, administered by the City Clerk's License Division, which processes and issues Milwaukee's business licenses and permits.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Milwaukee (the obligee), with property owners and the city as the protected parties. If a licensed wrecker or mover fails to perform work covered under a permit — for example, leaving a demolition or moving job incomplete or non-compliant — the harmed party can recover against the bond up to $20,000.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Confirm your exact renewal cadence and any documentation the License Division requires alongside the bond, since municipal license bonds can run on a different cycle than other permits you hold.
