The City of Lafayette requires a $1,000 bond for electrical-only permits. Our premium is $100, flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Permit bonds are simple. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section.
Small fixed-amount permit bonds like this typically issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the City of Lafayette with your electrical permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A Lafayette electrical permit bond is a code-compliance guarantee. The city wants a financial backstop that electrical work pulled under a city permit is performed to code and finished as permitted.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lafayette (the obligee). If permitted work violates code or damages public property and you don't make it right, the city can recover against the bond.
The city sets $1,000 for electrical-only permits. The bond must be on file before the permit is issued, so we keep it current and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond doesn't have one.
