Iowa requires a waste tire hauler to file a continuous surety bond with the Department of Natural Resources under Iowa Code 455D.11I, naming the State of Iowa as obligee. This page prices the $10,000 amount at $300 flat (3%). Heads up: current DNR guidance lists a $150,000 bond — confirm your required amount before you file.
















Registration bonds are among the simplest things in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. Larger amounts may get a quick review; at most, 1–2 business days.
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.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time per term. The $10,000 amount is $300; a $150,000 amount is $4,500.
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.
An important note on the amount: the Propeller application here shows $10,000 (a figure found in older administrative code at 567 ch. 116), but current Iowa DNR guidance lists a $150,000 bond under 455D.11I. Amounts like this change by rule, so confirm the figure the DNR currently requires on your registration before you file — we’ll issue whichever amount applies.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one. Confirm your required amount with us before filing.
