About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A plumbing and sewer contractor bond is a compliance guarantee. When you connect to or work on the City of Bowling Green's water and sewer systems, the city wants a financial backstop that the work meets code and its connection rules are followed.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Bowling Green (the obligee). If plumbing or sewer work violates city code, damages public systems, or breaks the registration terms, the city can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Registered plumbers who work to code treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Bowling Green plumbing and sewer bond? +
The premium is $275 — our flat minimum. The bond amount is $5,000, and 3% of that is $150, below our $275 floor, so the price is $275. Same for every contractor, every term.
Do I pay the $5,000? +
No. You pay $275. The $5,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the city if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount municipal bonds like this one don't need one.
Where do I file it? +
With the City of Bowling Green's building / utilities office, with your plumbing or sewer contractor registration. We issue the executed bond ready to submit.
