Before performing electrical work under a City of Cordele master electrician license, the city requires a $5,000 surety bond, filed with the Office of Community Development — ours is $100 flat, and the price you see is the checkout price. The application collects no credit information.
















A city electrician license bond is about the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no lengthy underwriting file.
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your master electrician license application at the Office of Community Development. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields for this bond — a short business application, no lengthy credit file.
