The City of Thibodaux conditions an electrical contractor license on a $2,000 surety bond filed with the city. Ours is $275 — the minimum premium, since 3% of $2,000 is below it. The application is five minutes, with no credit check on this bond.
















City contractor bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small city license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Thibodaux electrical contractor license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$2,000 bond × 3% = $60, below our $275 minimum, so the price is $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Thibodaux licenses trade contractors who work within the city, and conditions an electrical contractor license on a $2,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your work meeting the city's electrical code and ordinances.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Thibodaux (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. Each trade is bonded separately, so an electrical license carries its own $2,000 bond apart from any mechanical or plumbing license you hold.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
