What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Iowa regulates waste tire management under Iowa Code chapter 455D, and section 455D.11I requires a person who hauls waste tires to register with the Department of Natural Resources and provide a surety bond naming the State of Iowa as obligee. The bond is continuous — it stays in effect until canceled by the surety.
The bond stands behind the hauler’s proper handling and disposal of waste tires, so the state has a financial backstop against illegal dumping or stockpiling and the cleanup costs that follow.
On the amount: the hauler bond was $10,000 under the older administrative code (567 ch. 116). The 2021 amendment to 455D.11I raised it to a $150,000 minimum, and the DNR registration application asks for $150,000 today — that is the bond we issue.

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 $150,000 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 the DNR. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your waste tire hauler registration. The bond is continuous until canceled by the surety. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $3,000 at the $150,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
One soft credit pull, never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your score.
Where a check runs, it decides approval; the rate is the same for everyone approved.
One application: approved instantly, or after a quick credit check.
These are the actual issuing fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull that never affects your score.
