About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The Madison County Health Department oversees on-site sewage (septic) systems in the county, and conditions an installer's registration on a $20,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-health and property-owner protection guarantee — it stands behind your compliance with the county's on-site sewage rules and Indiana's residential on-site sewage system rule (410 IAC 6-8.3).

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Madison County Health Department (the obligee), with property owners as the protected parties. If an installer violates the sewage rules or leaves a property owner with a defective system, 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 follow the county's standards and pull proper permits treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

Madison County Health Department (Environmental Health)The Madison County Health Department's Environmental Health division registers sewage disposal system installers and requires a $20,000 surety bond as a condition of that registration; on-site systems are also governed by Indiana's residential on-site sewage system rule, 410 IAC 6-8.3. The $20,000 amount is set by the Health Department — confirm current terms with the department when you register.
