The City of New Haven, Indiana requires a $5,000 bond to pull a building sewer permit — the permit to connect a building's sewer line to the City system. Ours is $100 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















Permit bonds are simple to issue. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, and no credit section to fill out.
Permit bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your City of New Haven building sewer permit. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
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.
These are the actual issuing fields — the application collects no credit information.
