What it is and who needs it.
What the installer bond guarantees
A subsurface sewage disposal installer bond is a performance and compliance guarantee to the municipality. The Township of West Milford conditions a septic installer license on this bond so that septic systems are installed to code and the public health and groundwater are protected.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Township of West Milford (the obligee). If you install a system improperly, damage Township property, or violate the local septic requirements, the Township — or a harmed property owner — can recover against the $10,000 bond.
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the license. Let it lapse and the Township can suspend your license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 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 $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
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 Township. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Township of West Milford for your installer license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $100 at the $10,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
