What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond covers
Sevier County Electric System is the public electric utility serving Sevier County, Tennessee. Like most utilities, it can require a security deposit to open or maintain a commercial electric account, especially for larger accounts or where there is no established payment history. Instead of leaving cash on deposit, a customer can post a surety bond.
The bond is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Sevier County Electric System (the obligee). If the account goes unpaid, the utility can recover against the bond up to the bond amount — exactly as it would draw down a cash deposit.
The bond amount is the deposit the utility set for your account, usually based on estimated usage. It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the amount from $100, and no credit check up to $15,000, so you keep your cash working in the business.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
