About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A master gas installer bond is a code-compliance and public-safety guarantee to Memphis and Shelby County. Gas piping work carries real risk, so the county wants a financial backstop that you'll install and connect fuel-gas systems to the adopted code and follow the licensing rules.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Memphis / Shelby County (the obligee), with property owners and the public protected. If you violate the fuel-gas code and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Installers who pull permits and work to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
