What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Minnesota's Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) registers contractors who perform building sewer and water service installation — "pipe laying" — and conditions registration on a code-compliance surety bond under Minn. Stat. 326B.46. The bond runs to the state in the penal sum of at least $25,000.
The bond is conditioned on faithful and lawful performance of the work in compliance with the plumbing and construction codes. If a registered contractor installs sewer or water service in violation of the code and the state or a harmed party suffers loss, they can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The pipe-laying registration covers building sewer and water service work; contractors doing broader plumbing work hold a full plumbing contractor bond instead. This $25,000 bond is the standard amount for the registration.
