Bay County waste management bonds.
$100 flat.
Bay County lets a hauler or business pay its solid waste disposal charges by monthly bill, through a credit payment account, instead of in cash at the time of disposal. To open one, the account holder posts a security deposit with the Bay County Clerk of Court: cash, a letter of credit, or a surety bond such as this $5,000 one. Ours is $100 flat, issued instantly.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Bay County's Solid Waste Management Policy Manual (Resolution 3063, 2011) lets a business that uses the County's disposal facilities (its landfill, waste-to-energy facility and transfer stations) pay its disposal charges by monthly bill through a credit payment account, once the Solid Waste director approves it. To open one, the business posts a security deposit with the Bay County Clerk of Court, in cash, a letter of credit or a surety bond. The County's commercial hauler license (Resolution 1624) does not call for a bond: this deposit secures the credit account and nothing else.
The deposit is meant to cover two months of your bills. The Solid Waste director sets each account's amount from its average monthly tonnage over the previous twelve months, times two, times the current tipping fee (a new hauler's starts from its collection vehicles), and the County reviews it every year. Licensed commercial haulers and heavy private industry have a $5,000 minimum. This bond is written at $5,000, so it fits an account whose deposit the County sets at $5,000; ask the Solid Waste Accounts Supervisor what yours is before you buy.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. If a bill is still unpaid 45 days after billing, the director has the Clerk collect it from the deposit, and you pay cash at disposal until the deposit is back to its full amount. The County releases the deposit only after you cancel the account and pay any balance in full.
