About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

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.

Electrical Code of St. Louis County (Chapter 1102 SLCRO)The Electrical Code of St. Louis County, Missouri (Chapter 1102 SLCRO, 1974, as amended) requires an applicant for an Electrical Contractor’s License to file an indemnifying bond with good and sufficient sureties to St. Louis County. The Department of Public Works sets the bond form and amount; confirm the current amount on your license application.
