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.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $10,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy; the premium covers the period to that date.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, December 31, in the year your term ends.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
