Macon-Bibb County requires septic tank contractors to file a $10,000 bond as a condition of their installer permit. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount, the same for every contractor. The application is five minutes and there is no credit check on this bond.
















Septic contractor bonds are among the simplest things 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.
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 and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Macon-Bibb County environmental health / septic permit. 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.
Macon-Bibb County permits septic tank / on-site sewage contractors and conditions that permit on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a workmanship and compliance guarantee: it backs your obligation to install and repair on-site sewage systems to County and environmental-health standards.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Macon-Bibb County (the obligee), with property owners and the public as the protected parties. If you install a system improperly or violate County septic rules and someone is harmed, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Installers who follow the County environmental-health standards treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
