About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A city electrician license bond is a compliance guarantee to the municipality. The City of Bessemer wants a financial backstop that licensed electricians follow the city's electrical code and license conditions.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bessemer (the obligee). If an electrician violates the city's code or license terms and the city or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the $5,000 bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the city license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
