What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A septic installer's license bond is a workmanship and compliance guarantee to the Borough of Oakland. Installers who build and repair septic (subsurface sewage disposal) systems are licensed by the Borough, which conditions the license on the bond so it has a backstop that you will install to code, follow the Borough’s health and construction rules, and correct defective work.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Borough of Oakland (the obligee), with the property owners and public health protected. If you install a system that fails to meet code or violate the Borough’s septic ordinance, a harmed party or the Borough can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the Borough can suspend the license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.
