KY septic servicing bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Kentucky requires a business that pumps or services septic tanks to hold a septic tank servicing business license from the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, and to file a $5,000 surety bond with the application under 902 KAR 10:170 (form DFS-335). Ours is $275 — our minimum premium — and this fixed license bond issues fast.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Kentucky regulates businesses that service septic tanks, holding tanks, portable toilets, and similar onsite sewage works through the Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Department for Public Health. A business must hold an annual septic tank servicing business license, and 902 KAR 10:170 requires a $5,000 surety bond filed with the application.
The bond is a public-and-consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with the sanitation rules for collecting, transporting, and disposing of domestic septage. It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Cabinet (the obligee), with the public protected.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a valid claim, you repay the surety. The license is annual, with applications due to the Cabinet before March 1; the bond is filed on form DFS-335 alongside the DFS-306 application.
