What it is and who needs it.
What the deposit bond actually does
When a utility opens or holds an account, it often wants a security deposit against unpaid charges. The City of North Las Vegas water utility accepts a surety bond in place of that cash deposit — so instead of tying up the full amount with the City, you pay a premium starting from $125 and keep your capital working.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of North Las Vegas (the obligee). The bond guarantees payment of your water charges up to the bond amount — if the account goes unpaid, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City, you repay the surety. Account holders who pay on time treat the bond as a cash-flow tool. We issue the amount the utility set, priced from $125 with no credit check up to $15,000 required, and mail the original for filing with the City.

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 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.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

What sets the price
