What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Minnesota licenses subsurface sewage treatment systems (SSTS) businesses — septic design, installation, inspection, maintenance, and pumping — under Minn. Stat. 115.56 and Minn. R. ch. 7083. A license issues only with a $25,000 corporate surety bond, the designated certified individual on file, and at least $100,000 of general liability insurance.
The bond covers the work done under all SSTS licenses held by the business, and is for the benefit of persons injured or suffering financial loss by reason of failure to comply with the Minnesota Plumbing Code and Minn. Stat. 115.55 and 115.56. It is conditioned on faithful performance and compliance with the laws, ordinances, and rules governing the license.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. SSTS businesses that do clean work and keep good records treat the bond as a license formality, not a risk.
