What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
An individual sewage disposal system installer license bond is a workmanship and compliance guarantee — that septic systems you install in the Borough of Oakland meet the Borough’s and the state’s standards, protecting groundwater and neighboring property.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Borough of Oakland (the obligee). If a system you install fails to meet code or you violate the installer rules, the Borough can recover against the bond up to the $20,000 penal sum.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the Borough can suspend your installer license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.
