What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Hammond licenses electrical contractors who work within the city, and conditions the license on a $1,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your electrical work meeting the city's code and ordinances.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Hammond (the obligee). If a contractor violates a city ordinance, abandons permitted work, or causes a loss the city is responsible for, a claim can be filed against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Electricians who pull clean permits treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
