The City of Lumberton requires every electrical contractor to file a $5,000 surety bond before it will register and license them to work in city limits. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit check.
















City contractor bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application. No credit check.
Small fixed-amount city bonds like this issue right after purchase, most of the time.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the City of Lumberton to activate your electrical contractor license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Lumberton conditions electrical contractor registration on a $5,000 surety bond filed before a contractor may activate a license and work in city limits. The bond is a code-compliance and public-protection guarantee: it backs your obligation to follow the city's electrical and building codes on the work you do here.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Lumberton (the obligee), with the city and the public as the protected parties. If an electrical contractor violates city codes or licensing rules and the city or a resident is harmed, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the filing so your $5,000 bond stays continuous for as long as your Lumberton registration is active.
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 $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
