What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Genesee County licenses sewage disposal contractors — the firms that install and repair on-site septic and sewage disposal systems — and conditions the license on a $35,000 surety bond. The bond is a public-health and consumer-protection guarantee that you install systems to the County’s code and standards.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Genesee County (the obligee), with homeowners and the public protected. If a contractor installs a system improperly or violates the County’s sewage disposal regulations, a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who install to code treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk. The bond must stay active for the life of your license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days before renewal.
