Cleveland sewer builder bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
The City of Cleveland requires an individual registering as a sewer builder — to install or connect to the City sanitary sewer — to file a $5,000 bond with the City. Three percent of $5,000 is $150, under our $275 minimum, so the price is $275 flat. The application is five minutes.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Cleveland lets only registered, bonded builders work on and connect to its public sanitary sewer. This is the individual version of the registration — for a person registering as a sewer builder, with a $5,000 bond. The bond guarantees you'll install and connect according to City specifications and the sewer code, and restore any public property you disturb.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Cleveland (the obligee). If a sewer builder damages the City system, fails to restore the right-of-way, or violates the sewer rules, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the City on a claim, you repay the surety. Builders who follow the City's sewer specifications treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
