Detailed Information About the Mississippi Gas Fitting Contractor ($5,000) Bond:

The bond goes to the city

A common mistake is assuming a gas fitting bond is filed with a state agency or the local gas company. This one is a municipal bond. The obligee is the City of Madison, which uses the name Madison the City on its website and forms, and the bond is handled by the Building & Permits Department.

How gas work is checked in Madison

The city's Obtaining a Permit page lists ten inspections the Building and Permit Department performs on new residential construction, and a Gas Inspection is one of them. The same page states that all construction must comply with the adopted building, plumbing, gas, mechanical and national electric codes. A $200.00 re-inspection fee applies to any inspection requested but not ready when the inspector arrives, or on the second rejection.

What the bond does

The bond is a three party promise. You are the principal, the surety company backs you, and the city is protected. If the city has a valid claim that you broke its ordinances or the terms of a permit, the surety pays up to $5,000 and you repay the surety.

Before the bond is issued

Call the Building & Permits Department at (601) 856-6336 or email permits@madisonthecity.com. Confirm the current bond form, the exact obligee wording and any licensing the city expects from a gas fitter. Getting the form right the first time saves a reissue.
