What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
The Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department permits businesses that clean, pump, and haul liquid waste — septic, grease, and similar — and conditions the permit on a $500 surety bond. The bond is a public-health-protection guarantee that you'll handle and dispose of waste according to the Department's rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (the obligee), with the public and the environment as the protected parties. If a hauler violates the permit rules and harm results, the Department or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your permit. Let it lapse and the Department can act against the permit — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $500 filing continuous.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $500 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to May 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, May 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the Health Department. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department permit application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
