What it is and who needs it.
What the utility deposit bond actually does
When you open or hold a Sevier County Utility District natural-gas account, the district can ask for a security deposit against unpaid bills. Rather than leaving cash on deposit, you can post a utility deposit surety bond for the same amount — the district is protected, and your money stays in your business.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Sevier County Utility District (the obligee). If the account goes unpaid, the district can recover the unpaid balance against the bond up to the deposit amount it set.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. For most customers the bond is simply a cheaper way to satisfy a deposit than tying up the full amount in cash. We issue the district's amount from $100, and no credit check up to $15,000.

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.
How to file it
Deliver to the utility district. Submit the executed bond to the Sevier County Utility District in place of your cash deposit. Wet-ink originals mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
No credit check up to $15,000. Above that, the carrier may run a soft pull, which never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
