What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Calvert County licenses on-site sewage disposal (septic) installers through the Calvert County Health Department, and conditions the license on a $10,000 performance bond posted with the Board of Health. Anyone in the business of installing individual sewage disposal systems must hold the license and the bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Calvert County Board of Health (the obligee), with property owners as the protected parties. If an installer's work is defective, negligent, or fails to meet the county and COMAR regulations, the harmed owner or the county can file a claim against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Installers who build systems to the approved design and the county regulations treat the bond as a license formality.

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 $10,000 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.
How to file it
File with the Calvert County Health Department. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to post with the Board of Health for your installer license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
