What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Rochester licenses electrical contractors who work within the city, and conditions that registration on a small $500 surety bond filed with the City. The bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee standing behind your obligation to do electrical work to code and under the City’s permits.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Rochester (the obligee), with the public protected. If you violate the City’s electrical or licensing ordinance and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The $500 amount is small, but the City still requires the bond on file to register, and our $100 flat price covers the cost of issuing it.
