About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Montgomery electrical bond guarantees

Montgomery is the capital of Alabama. Like most Alabama cities, it licenses the trades that pull permits inside city limits, and conditions an electrical contractor license on a $5,000 surety bond filed with the city.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Montgomery (the obligee). The bond guarantees your electrical work follows the city’s code and licensing rules; if you violate them and the city or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the city can suspend your ability to pull electrical permits — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
