St. Louis County licenses electrical contractors through its Department of Public Works, and conditions the license on an indemnifying bond filed with the County. It's a compliance guarantee that you'll perform electrical work in accordance with the County Electrical Code and the conditions of your license.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and St. Louis County (the obligee). If you violate the electrical code or a permit condition and the County or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the County set, at a flat 3% with no credit check, and the bond must stay active for the life of your license.
Submit the application with the bond amount St. Louis County set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
