What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Livingston County's Health Department licenses the contractors who install, repair, and maintain onsite sewage disposal (septic) systems in the county — a failed system is treated as a public-health hazard, and the county conditions a contractor's license on a $25,000 surety bond.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Livingston County (the obligee), with property owners and the county as the protected parties. If a licensed contractor's work fails to meet the county's sanitary code or leaves covered damage, a claim can be made against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond has to stay active for the life of your county license, so we track the term and send renewal reminders so your license doesn't lapse.
