What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Washington County conditions its septic tank and grease trap install and repair license on a $3,000 surety bond. Septic and grease-trap work protects groundwater, sewer lines, and public health, so the county wants a backstop that contractors follow county and state on-site sewage rules.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Washington County (the obligee), with the public protected. If a contractor installs or repairs a system or grease trap improperly, or violates county regulations, the county or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who install to code treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep your $3,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
