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.

Memphis & Shelby County — Construction Code EnforcementMemphis and Shelby County, Tennessee condition master gas installer registration on this $5,000 bond, administered through the Office of Construction Code Enforcement. The bond amount and terms are set by the county; the $5,000 penal sum is named on the registration bond form.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

How much is the Memphis & Shelby County master gas installer bond? +
The premium is $275 — our minimum. A flat 3% of the $5,000 bond amount would be $150, which is below the $275 floor, so the price is $275, the same for every installer.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the county if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Why is the price $275 and not less? +
$275 is our flat minimum premium on any bond. Since 3% of a $5,000 bond is only $150, the minimum applies. The rate is the same honest 3% on larger bonds where 3% exceeds $275.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount registration bonds like this one don't need one.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many installers finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
