What it is and who needs it.
What the excavation permit bond actually guarantees
A Health Department excavation permit bond is a public-health-compliance guarantee. When the Jay County Health Department permits you to excavate for septic or onsite sewage work, it wants a financial backstop that the installation meets the County's onsite sewage and excavation rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Jay County Health Department (the obligee). If you leave a non-compliant installation or fail to restore the site, the County can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the permit. Let it lapse and the County can suspend your excavation privileges — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.

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 $20,000 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.
How to file it

What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $200 at the $20,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
