Why a small city has its own gas fitter bond

Many fitters expect gas work to be handled only through a state trade license. Cairo is different because the city itself operates a natural gas distribution system, run through its Energy Services department. A city that owns the gas system sets its own conditions for the fitters who work on lines and appliances connected to it, and this $1,000 bond is one of them.

What the bond does

The gas fitter is the principal, the City of Cairo is the obligee, and the surety guarantees the fitter's obligations. If a fitter violates city requirements for gas work or leaves the city with a cost it should not bear, the city can make a claim up to $1,000. The fitter must repay the surety for any claim it pays. The bond is not insurance for the fitter.

A state license is a separate credential

Holding a Georgia trade license and posting this city bond are two different things. Plan on both if you do gas work in Cairo.

Before you buy

Confirm the current bond form, any permit or registration that goes with it, and the filing steps with the City of Cairo before the bond is issued. Have your legal name or business name exactly as it will appear on the city filing.
