This bond is a fast, practical alternative accepted directly by the county utility office.
Who Needs This Bond?
Residential and commercial customers in Marion County, Florida who have been told by Marion County Utilities that a security deposit is required to open or reinstate a utility account need this bond. If your credit history, prior service interruptions, or account standing triggered a deposit requirement, a surety bond covers that obligation instead. You post the bond — not cash — and Marion County Utilities gets the assurance it requires to activate your account.
What is this Bond For?
Marion County Utilities requires a security deposit to protect itself against unpaid bills and account defaults. This bond substitutes for that cash deposit, guaranteeing that the county utility can recover losses if bills go unpaid or the account is abandoned with an outstanding balance. The utility is the protected party — you are the principal who obtains the bond to satisfy the deposit condition.
When is it Required?
Opening a new utility account with Marion County Utilities — or having service restored after a shutoff — is the moment this bond becomes mandatory. If the county utility flags your account for a deposit requirement at any point in the application or reinstatement process, you will not get active service without satisfying it. Submitting this bond in lieu of a cash deposit clears that requirement and moves your account forward.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is specific to Marion County Utilities in Marion County, Florida, and is accepted only for accounts serviced by that county utility system. It is not a statewide requirement and does not apply to private utility providers or other Florida counties. If your service address falls within Marion County Utilities' service territory, this is the correct bond.
