What it is and who needs it.
What the plumbing bond actually covers
A Washington County plumbing bond is a compliance-and-workmanship guarantee. When you do plumbing work in the county, it wants a financial backstop that your work follows the county plumbing code and the conditions of your license — protecting both the property owner and the public.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Washington County (the obligee), with harmed property owners as the protected parties. If a plumber's defective or non-permitted work violates the rules, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
Because the county sets the figure, the amount is whatever your license requirement names. Enter that figure at the application — pricing starts from $100, and your exact price is set there.
