About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the Mesa utility deposit bond covers

The City of Mesa is one of the few cities in Arizona that operates its own water, electric, natural gas, and wastewater utilities. Like any utility, it can require a security deposit from a new or higher-risk account to cover the risk of unpaid bills before service is established.

A utility deposit bond is an accepted substitute for that cash deposit. Instead of leaving hundreds or thousands of dollars on deposit with Mesa Utilities, you post a surety bond — the City of Mesa is the obligee, and the bond stands behind your utility charges if the account goes unpaid.

It is not insurance for you: if Mesa Utilities makes a valid claim for unpaid charges and the surety pays, you repay the surety. Pay your utility bills and the bond simply sits behind the account. Whatever deposit the City sets, premiums start at $100, and no credit check up to $15,000 — your exact price appears at the application.

City of Mesa Utilities — Customer ServiceThe City of Mesa operates municipal water, electric, natural gas, and wastewater utilities and may require a security deposit as a condition of service; a surety bond naming the City of Mesa as obligee is an accepted alternative to a cash deposit. The deposit amount is set by Mesa Utilities Customer Service for your account — confirm the figure on your service or deposit notice, and we issue the bond for that amount.

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 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.

Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

How to file it

Deliver to Mesa Utilities. Submit the executed bond to the City of Mesa Utilities Customer Service so service can be connected. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.

No credit check up to $15,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.

Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the City of Mesa utility deposit bond?The premium runs 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum. The bond amount is the deposit Mesa Utilities set for your account, so your exact price appears at the application.
Do I pay the deposit amount?No. You pay the premium, which starts at $100. The bond amount is the surety's maximum liability to the City of Mesa for unpaid utility charges — it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your cash.
Is there a credit check?No credit check up to $15,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score. Most applications approve instantly.
Why would I post a bond instead of a cash deposit?A cash deposit ties up the full amount with the City until you close the account. A surety bond costs a one-time premium starting at $100 instead and frees that cash for your business — Mesa Utilities accepts it as equivalent security.
Where do I deliver the bond?To the City of Mesa Utilities Customer Service, with your service or deposit notice. We issue the executed bond ready to submit so your service can be connected.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
