Minnesota's $1,000 contract electrical inspector bond under Minn. Stat. 326B.36 is given to the Department of Labor and Industry, conditioned on the faithful performance of your inspection duties. A flat 3% of $1,000 is $30, so the price lands at our $275 minimum. No credit check on this bond.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Your details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section.
Small fixed 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 give to DLI with your inspection contract. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$1,000 bond × 3% = $30, which is under our $275 minimum, so the price is $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Minnesota's electrical inspections are administered by the Department of Labor and Industry's Board of Electricity, and much of the field inspection is done by inspectors under contract with the department. Under Minn. Stat. 326B.36, every such contract inspector must give a $1,000 bond conditioned on the faithful performance of their duties.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Minnesota (the obligee). If a contract inspector fails to perform their inspection duties faithfully and the state or a third party is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
This is a small, fixed accountability bond tied to your inspection contract — not a contractor license bond. It is not insurance for you: if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
