About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the plumbing bond actually guarantees

A plumbing contractor bond is a code-compliance guarantee to the Brown County Board of Health. Plumbing work protects the public water supply, so the Board wants a financial backstop that your installations and repairs meet the Ohio plumbing code and county rules.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Brown County Board of Health (the obligee). If your work violates the plumbing code or causes loss, the Board can recover against the bond.

The bond must stay active while you're registered. Ohio plumbing contractors must register with the county health authority where they work — let the bond lapse and the Board can pull your registration. We notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
