What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond actually covers
When the City of Tulsa requires a deposit to open a commercial water, sewer, or utility account, it will generally accept a surety bond in lieu of cash. The bond guarantees payment of your utility charges up to the bond amount — so you keep your working capital instead of tying it up in a city deposit.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Tulsa (the obligee). If you leave unpaid utility charges, the city can recover against the bond up to its penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. We issue the amount the City of Tulsa set; premiums are 2% of that amount, with a $100 minimum.
