What Is an Alabama Utility Deposit Bond?

Alabama utility deposit surety bonds are used in place of a security deposit. High-volume users may be required to file a surety bond before accessing utilities. 

You can often choose between cash, a letter of credit or a surety bond. Some chose a surety bond because it only requires a small premium rather than full cash collateral.

How Much Do Utility Deposit Bonds Cost?

Alabama utility bond premiums are based on both personal credit reports and the required bond coverage. Bonds typically start at $100 or 1% of the total coverage amount but can range up to 10%. 

Verify the bond coverage you need with the utility service. Then, request a quote to receive your personalized rate.

How Does an Alabama Utility Bond Work?

Utility deposit bonds help ensure that customers pay their utility bills in full and on time. Whereas most surety bonds function to protect consumers, utility bonds protect utility companies.

If a bonded client doesn’t pay a utility bill, the utility company can file a bond claim. If the claim is valid and paid out by the surety, the customer must then reimburse the surety company.

Can I Get Bonded With Bad Credit?

You may still be able to get a utility bond with poor personal credit. However, credit score will likely impact your premium price. Apply now to see if you qualify.

How Do I Renew My Bond?

These bonds typically expire after a one year term. If you still need the bond, follow the instructions in your renewal reminders to maintain active coverage. 

Typically, all you need to do is pay your premium to keep your current bond active for another year.

How Do I Update My Bond Information?

Once a bond is active, you cannot change it. However, if information like the bond amount or the business name needs to be updated, you should contact your surety provider. 

We provide free bond rider documents to amend existing bonds when possible. Just email [email protected] with your change request.
