The bond the City of Mesquite accepts in place of a cash deposit to turn on water and sewer service — common for commercial accounts where the city's required deposit is large. The city sets the amount; premiums are 2% of the deposit amount, $100 minimum.
















No underwriting queue for the standard utility deposit bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the city. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the deposit amount the city required, and the effective date — that is the entire application.
The application collects no credit information, so most applicants are issued as soon as they pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review — if a check runs, it is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Submit the executed bond to the city's Utility Billing / Water department in place of the cash deposit. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the city insists.
When a customer establishes water and sewer service with the City of Mesquite, the city can require a deposit to secure payment of the account. A surety bond is accepted in place of that cash deposit — instead of tying up cash with the city, you post a bond and pay a premium of 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Mesquite (the obligee). The bond guarantees the city will be paid for water and sewer charges on the account, up to the bond amount, if the bill goes unpaid.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city for an unpaid utility bill, you repay the surety. For commercial accounts with large deposits, the bond frees up cash you'd otherwise leave sitting with the city.
Submit the application with the deposit amount the City of Mesquite required — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to post.
