About this bond

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.
