What are Mississippi Utility Bonds?

Get to know what this surety bond is for today!

Utility bonds are required by different utility companies in Mississippi before providing a service or restoring service.

 

The surety bond will serve as a guarantee or a deposit in case the Principal or the person who applied for a utility service defaults from his or her obligation such as paying the bill on time.

 

When this happens, the utility company will file for financial claims on the surety bond, up to its penal sum.

 

What are the Utility Bond amounts?

The bond amount will vary per utility company or provider. Before you apply for a utility bond, verify the full amount that you need with your provider.

 

Here’s a list of the utility providers in Mississippi:
