About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Kerrville requires an electrical contractor working for hire in the city to register with Development Services and post a $5,000 surety bond before electrical permits are issued. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your electrical work meeting the city's adopted code and the terms of your registration.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Kerrville (the obligee), with the city and harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a contractor violates the electrical code or the conditions of registration, the city or a harmed owner can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active any time you hold an active permit, so we track it and send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

City of Kerrville — Development Services (contractor registration)The City of Kerrville conditions electrical contractor registration on a $5,000 surety bond filed with its Development Services / Building Inspection division; the bond must be in force any time the contractor holds an active permit. State electrical licensure (TDLR) is separate. Bond amount and form are set by the city — confirm the current requirement with Kerrville Development Services. We don't cite an ordinance number we can't verify.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the City of Kerrville electrical contractor bond?The premium is $100 flat — set by our carrier's rate book for this bond, the same for every Kerrville electrical contractor.
Do I pay the $5,000?No. You pay $100. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the city and harmed owners if a valid claim is made — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is this the same as my state electrical license?No. Texas licenses electricians through the TDLR; this bond is a separate City of Kerrville requirement to register as a contractor and pull electrical permits in the city. You typically need both.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — no SSN, no credit fields. Most applications like this approve instantly.
When does it renew?Kerrville contractor registrations expire December 31. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year bond term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your registration never lapses.
