What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Fayette County registers the contractors who install on-site septic (on-site wastewater) systems, and conditions that registration on a $1,500 bond. The bond guarantees you'll install to the county health department's standards and the state on-site sewage rules — protecting homeowners and the county if work is defective or left incomplete.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Fayette County (the obligee), with homeowners as the protected parties. If a septic install fails inspection or violates the county's rules and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Installers who build to spec and pass inspection treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

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 $1,500 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.
How to file it
File with your registration. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Fayette County Health Department alongside your installer registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
