What it is and who needs it.
What the septic contractor bond guarantees
A septic contractor license bond is a performance and compliance guarantee to the municipality. The Borough of Upper Saddle River conditions a septic contractor license on this bond so that work on individual subsurface sewage disposal systems is done to code and the public health is protected.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Borough of Upper Saddle River (the obligee). If you damage Borough property, abandon a job, or violate the local septic-installation requirements, the Borough — or a harmed property owner — can recover against the $30,000 bond.
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. Let it lapse and the Borough can suspend your license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $30,000 filing continuous.
