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.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the City of Montgomery electrical bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. A flat 3% of the $5,000 bond would be $150, which is below our floor, so it’s $275. The $5,000 amount is set by the city, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety’s maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many electricians finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don’t need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
