About this bond

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, at a flat 3% with no credit check.

City of Tulsa — utility deposit in lieu of cashThe City of Tulsa allows a surety bond in lieu of a cash deposit for utility service.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How is the premium calculated? +
Flat 3% of the deposit amount the City of Tulsa requires, with a $275 minimum. Enter the figure and the premium updates — a $5,000 deposit is $275 (the minimum), a $25,000 deposit is $750.
Do I pay the deposit amount? +
No. You pay the premium — 3% of the deposit. The bond amount is the city's maximum recovery for unpaid utility charges, not a deposit we hold.
Why use a bond instead of cash? +
A cash deposit ties up your working capital with the city, sometimes for years. A surety bond satisfies the same requirement for a small annual premium, so you keep the cash.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on the standard utility deposit bond — it issues instantly with no credit section. Very large amounts may get a quick review.
When does it renew? +
These run annually; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, and the bond stays in place for as long as the city requires the deposit.
