This is the Alabama Onsite Wastewater Board pumper bond at the higher $30,000 amount. At our flat 3% that is $900, the same for every pumper. If your license requires the basic $15,000 bond instead, use the $15,000 pumper page — confirm the amount on your application.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details, your employer company, and an effective date. No financials and no credit-check section on this bond.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond on the AOWB form arrives by email, ready to file with your license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$30,000 bond × 3% = $900, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed rate, multi-year if you want it.
Alabama licenses septic pumpers through the Onsite Wastewater Board (AOWB). Most pumpers post the $15,000 basic-license bond, but some license classifications carry the higher $30,000 amount — this page is that bond. Confirm which figure your license requires on your AOWB application.
The bond is a public-protection guarantee that you pump, haul, and dispose of onsite sewage in line with the Board's law and rules. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Alabama for the benefit of the public (the obligee).
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of the license, so we track it and notify you ahead of the Board's December 31 renewal deadline.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit-check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
