Allen County requires plumbing contractors to file a $10,000 bond before it will register you and let you pull plumbing permits. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount — and the application is five minutes with no credit check.
















Plumbing registration bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Plumbing bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Allen County plumbing registration. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
A plumbing contractor bond is a code-compliance guarantee. When you install or repair plumbing in Allen County, the county wants a financial backstop that you'll follow the plumbing code and correct work that fails inspection.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Allen County (the obligee). If you install out of code, abandon a permitted job, or leave a property owner with defective plumbing, a valid claim can be made against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. Let it lapse and the county can suspend your plumbing registration — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
