MD pump installer bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Maryland licenses pump installers through the Department of the Environment's State Board of Well Drillers, and conditions the license on a $2,000 bond. Three percent of $2,000 is $60, so this lands at our $275 minimum — the same floor for everyone. The application is five minutes, no credit check on this bond.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A pump installer is licensed to select, install, and repair pumps and related equipment and to test wells for yield. Maryland's Department of the Environment State Board of Well Drillers conditions the license on a $2,000 surety bond — a compliance guarantee standing behind your work under the Board's laws and regulations.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Maryland (the obligee). If a pump installer violates the well or pump installation rules and someone is harmed, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the filing and notify you ahead of expiration so your $2,000 bond stays continuous for the life of the license.
