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.

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
