What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Cordele conditions a master electrician license on a $5,000 surety bond stating the electrician will comply with the laws, regulations, and ordinances of the City of Cordele while performing electrical work in the city.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Cordele (the obligee), protecting the city and the public against loss or damage caused by negligent electrical work performed under the license. If a claim covered by the bond arises and isn't resolved, the city or a harmed party can bring a claim up to the $5,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay active for as long as your master electrician license is active, so we track renewal dates to keep your 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.
