About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Canton registers contractors who make house connections and special sewer connections — the work of tapping a private service line into the City's sanitary or storm sewer. Canton conditions that work on a $10,000 surety bond.

The bond is a public-infrastructure guarantee: it backs your promise to make connections to City code, and to repair or restore the street, curb, and sewer main you disturb. If a contractor leaves a defective tap, a settled trench, or a damaged main, the City can recover against the bond.

It is a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Canton (the obligee). It is not insurance for you; if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who restore what they disturb treat the bond as a permit formality.
