About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Oklahoma licenses electrical contractors through the Construction Industries Board (CIB) under the Electrical License Act (Title 59, O.S.). Every active contractor — the license type permitting you to enter into contracts and pull permits — must file a $5,000 license bond with the CIB Bonds and Insurance Unit.

The bond is conditioned on the faithful and lawful performance of the work you take on in Oklahoma. It runs for the benefit of any person injured or suffering financial loss because the work was not performed as the law requires — so it is a consumer-and-public-protection guarantee, not insurance for you.

It must stay continuous to keep your active license valid, and it carries a 30-day cancellation notice. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days out so it never lapses on a missed email.

OAC 158:40-5-5 (Title 59 Electrical License Act)Oklahoma Administrative Code 158:40-5-5, under the Construction Industries Board's Electrical Industry rules and the Electrical License Act (Title 59, O.S.), requires each active electrical contractor to furnish a continuous $5,000 license bond, with a 30-day cancellation notice, conditioned on faithful and lawful performance for the benefit of persons injured or suffering financial loss. Confirm the current amount on your CIB application.
