What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An electrical contractor bond is a code-and-public-safety guarantee to the city. The City of Richmond Heights conditions registration for electrical work on a surety bond so that wiring and electrical installations in the city meet the electrical code.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Richmond Heights (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If your electrical work violates code or is left defective and you do not correct it, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. We keep the bond active and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your registration stays continuous.
