The Town of Hamden requires sanitary sewer contractors to file a $10,000 bond with the Town. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every contractor. The application is five minutes, and a small fixed-amount municipal bond like this is among the fastest things we issue.
















A small municipal contractor bond is the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed-amount bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Town of Hamden to work as a sanitary sewer contractor. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A sanitary sewer contractor bond is a compliance and restoration guarantee to the Town of Hamden. When you tie into, repair, or extend the town's sanitary sewer system, Hamden wants a financial backstop that you'll do the work to code and restore any disturbed public property.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Town of Hamden (the obligee). If you make a defective connection, damage the public sewer, or fail to restore the site, the Town can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who do the work to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
