What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A sewer tapper bond is a public-works performance guarantee. When you tap into the City of Findlay's sanitary or storm sewer to make a connection, the City wants a financial backstop that the work meets its specifications and that any damage to City infrastructure or the public right-of-way is repaired.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Findlay through its Engineering Department (the obligee). If a tapper leaves a defective connection, damages the sewer, or fails to restore the site, the City can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The City's Engineering Department provides the sewer-tapper bond form and the license application; we issue the bond ready to file and track the renewal for you.

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 $5,000 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.
