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.

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 $5,000 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.
