What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A health department contractor bond is a public-health compliance guarantee. It promises the Switzerland County Board of Health that you'll install and repair onsite sewage (septic) systems to the county health code — work that, done wrong, contaminates groundwater and wells.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Switzerland County Board of Health (the obligee), with the county and property owners protected. If you install a system that violates the health code, a harmed party can claim against the bond.
The bond renews on the county's statutory date (the application notes 12/31 renewals). We track it and send notices 60 and 30 days out so your installer registration never lapses.

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 bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
