The City of Midland requires sign electricians to post a $2,000 bond as a condition of their city license. The price is our fixed $100 — set by our carrier for this bond, the same for every electrician. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That is the application — no financials, no credit section.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the city for your sign electrician license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
The City of Midland licenses sign electricians — the trade that wires and powers illuminated signs — and conditions the license on a $2,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance and public-safety guarantee: it stands behind your electrical sign work meeting the city electrical and sign code.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Midland (the obligee). If a sign electrician violates the code, leaves an unsafe installation, or damages public property, the city or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Sign electricians who wire to code treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this bond does not have one.
