About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Nappanee licenses and regulates electricians and electrical contractors through its Electrical Licensing Board, and conditions an electrical contractor license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance and public-safety guarantee: it stands behind your electrical work being done to the City's adopted electrical code.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Nappanee (the obligee). If a licensed electrical contractor violates the City's electrical code, leaves work unsafe, or damages public property, the City or a harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Electricians who pull proper permits and pass inspection treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Nappanee electrical contractor bond? +
The price is $275 flat. The City fixed the bond at $5,000, and 3% of $5,000 is $150 — under our $275 minimum — so every electrical contractor pays the same $275.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the City if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Small fixed municipal bonds like this usually 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. A $5,000 electrical license bond doesn't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the City electrical license. Buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
