What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A drain layer bond is a workmanship and restoration guarantee. When you lay drains or connect to the Jefferson County sewer, the county wants a financial backstop that the connection is made to standard and that any disturbed public infrastructure is restored.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Jefferson County (the obligee). If a drain or connection is laid improperly or restoration is left undone, the county can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. We track the term and notify you 60 and 30 days out so your county filing never lapses mid-season.
