What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Dorchester County sanitary construction bond is a compliance-and-workmanship guarantee. When you build and install sanitary sewer and on-site disposal systems in the county, it wants a financial backstop that your work follows county standards and Maryland environmental rules — protecting public health and the property owner.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Dorchester County (the obligee), with harmed property owners and the public as the protected parties. If a contractor's defective work violates the county's sanitary rules, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the county can suspend your ability to pull permits — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $2,000 filing continuous.
