About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A Nassau County solid-waste hauler permit bond is a municipal compliance guarantee. The County conditions a solid-waste collection / hauling permit on a financial backstop that you will operate in compliance with the County's solid-waste ordinance — proper disposal, permitted routes, and the fees the County is owed. The permit covers collection in unincorporated Nassau County, and the Board of County Commissioners may waive or reduce the bond for a hauler that has operated in the county for at least 7 years.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Nassau County (the obligee, the party the bond protects). If a hauler violates the solid-waste ordinance or fails to pay County fees, the County can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the County, you repay the surety. Operate within the ordinance and pay your fees, and the bond is simply a permit formality.

Nassau County Ordinance No. 96-12, §3.04 (Performance Bond)Every hauler permittee must provide a $10,000 performance bond or irrevocable letter of credit, in a form acceptable to and for the benefit of Nassau County, within 10 days after its hauler permit application is accepted, and keep it in force for the five-year permit term. The Board may waive or reduce it for a hauler that has operated in the county for at least 7 years.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Nassau County solid-waste hauler bond?The premium is $100 flat, per year, the same for every hauler. The $10,000 is set by the County and is not a percentage input — there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly.

Who is protected by the bond?Nassau County is the obligee. If a hauler violates the solid-waste ordinance or fails to pay County fees, the County can claim against the bond.

When does it renew?The ordinance requires the bond for the whole five-year permit term unless the County excuses it in writing. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term and renew it; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your permit never lapses over a missed email.

Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
