What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The City of Tulsa requires electrical sign contractors to be licensed and bonded before erecting, wiring, or maintaining electric signs inside the city. The $5,000 bond is a code-compliance and public-safety guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the city's sign and electrical codes.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Tulsa (the obligee). If a contractor violates the city's sign/electrical code or fails to correct defective work the code requires, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We keep the $5,000 filing continuous and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
