What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
White County conditions its septic tank and grease trap install and repair license on a $10,000 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 White 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 $10,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
