About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

St. Charles County licenses pool installers and conditions that license on a $20,000 surety bond. The bond is a code-compliance and consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to install pools in line with county codes and to make good on damage or violations.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and St. Charles County (the obligee), with harmed property owners as the protected parties. If you fail to follow county code or cause damage, the county or an injured owner can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay in force for the life of your license. St. Charles County can suspend or revoke a pool installer license if the bond lapses — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.
