What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $1,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Department of Labor and Industry. 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.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $1,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
