About this bond

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.

City of Findlay Engineering DepartmentThe City of Findlay Engineering Department licenses sewer tappers and provides a License & Permit Bond form for the sewer-tapper license. The bond names the City of Findlay as obligee in the amount the City sets ($5,000) and is filed with the tapper license application. Confirm the current form and amount with the Findlay Engineering Department.
