What it is and who needs it.
What the inspector bond actually covers
Kentucky requires electrical inspectors to be certified by the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction against the standards of the National Electrical Code, under KRS 227.489. The certification procedures live in 815 KAR 35:015.
Part of certification is a $5,000 bond under KRS 227.487(4) — unless the inspector is employed by the department or a local government provides otherwise. The bond stands behind the inspector's faithful performance of the duties of the office, so the public and the jurisdictions relying on the inspections have a backstop.
It is not insurance for you — if a valid claim is paid, you repay the surety. The standard amount is $5,000, at which the premium is our $275 minimum; if a local government sets a different figure, enter that amount and we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check.
