About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Wicomico County licenses electricians in three classes — master, general, and limited — through its Board of Electrical Examiners, created under Chapter 138 (Electrical Standards) of the County Code. The County conditions a general or limited license on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance guarantee: it stands behind a licensed electrician's obligation to work in accordance with the County's electrical code.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Wicomico County (the obligee), with property owners and the public as the protected parties. If a licensed electrician's work violates the County's code and a harmed party suffers a loss, the 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 permits and work to code treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep it continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

Wicomico County Board of Electrical Examiners — Ch. 138, Electrical StandardsWicomico County requires a $5,000 surety bond as a condition of its general or limited electrician license. The license is administered by the Board of Electrical Examiners, created under Chapter 138 (Electrical Standards) of the County Code, and processed through the Permits and Inspections Office. The County does not publish a specific code subsection for this bond amount online; we confirm the current bond form and requirement against the County's application before issuing.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Wicomico County electrician (general or limited) bond?The premium is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this specific bond — the same for every applicant. The $5,000 bond amount is set by the County, so there is no quote process; $100 is the checkout price.
Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond?License bonds like this issue right after purchase in most cases — many applicants finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, so nearly all applicants approve instantly. If our carrier ever runs a check, it's a soft pull only — it never affects your credit score.
How is this different from the master electrician bond?Wicomico County licenses electricians in separate classes — master, general, and limited. This is the bond for a general or limited license; the master electrician license is a separate $5,000 bond filed the same way with the Board of Electrical Examiners.
