About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Minnesota licenses technology system contractors — the businesses that install low-voltage, power-limited, alarm, data, and signal systems — through the Department of Labor and Industry. The license is conditioned on a $25,000 surety bond under the contractor-bond provision at Minn. Stat. 326B.46, the same licensing-and-bond section that applies to electrical and related contractors.

The bond runs to the state for the benefit of any person who suffers loss because the contractor fails to comply with the licensing laws and the electrical/technology code. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Minnesota (the obligee).

A technology system contractor license also requires that you be, or employ, a licensed power limited technician (PLT). The bond is one piece of that license — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety; it is not insurance for you.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Minnesota technology system contractor bond?The premium is $125 — set by our carrier's rate book for this specific bond, not a percentage of the $25,000 bond amount, and the same for every contractor. The $25,000 amount is set by statute, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $25,000?No. You pay $125. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Do I also need a power limited technician?Yes — the license requires you to be, or employ, a licensed power limited technician (PLT). The bond and the PLT requirement are separate pieces of the same technology system contractor license.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — there's no credit section at all. Most applications like this approve instantly; on the rare bond where a check does run, it's a soft pull that never affects your score.

When does it renew?The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available.
