What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Clark County registers the contractors who do plumbing and make sewer connections in the county, and conditions that registration on a $10,000 surety bond. The single bond covers both the plumbing work and the sewer tapping.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and Clark County (the obligee). The bond guarantees that your plumbing and sewer connections meet the county's code and that any damage to the public system is repaired.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim on non-compliant work or unrepaired damage, you repay the surety. Contractors who work to code treat the bond as a registration formality, and we track renewals so yours stays continuous.
