What is this bond?

A City of Clearwater Utility Deposit Bond is a financial guarantee used in place of a cash deposit when opening a municipal utility account. It ensures that the city receives payment for water, sewer, or solid waste services utilized by a customer. If the account holder defaults on their utility bills, the bond compensates the city for the outstanding balance.

Who needs it?

Commercial businesses and sometimes high-volume residential customers opening new utility accounts with the City of Clearwater, Florida, typically need this bond. It is especially useful for companies that prefer to keep their cash liquid rather than tying it up in a municipal utility deposit.

Why is it required?

The City of Clearwater requires this bond to protect municipal resources from financial loss due to unpaid utility bills. By securing a bond, the city ensures continuous funding for essential public services even if a business or individual defaults on their payments. Exact requirements vary, so applicants should verify their specific bond criteria directly with the local utility department.
