About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of New Haven, Indiana requires a $5,000 surety bond as a condition of a building sewer permit — the permit to connect a building's sewer line to the public system. The bond guarantees the work is done to the City's standards and that City streets, sidewalks, and the public sewer are restored and protected.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of New Haven (the obligee), with the public protected. If the sewer connection is done improperly or City property is damaged and not repaired, the City can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who tap to code and restore the right-of-way treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

After you buy

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 $5,000 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

File with your permit. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of New Haven building sewer permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.

What sets the price

The premium is fixed at $100 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
