What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Madison County Public Health registers the plumbing contractors who work in the county, and conditions that registration on a $5,000 surety bond. The bond is a workmanship-and-code guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to perform plumbing work in compliance with the county plumbing code and the health department's rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Madison County Public Health (the obligee). If a plumber's work violates code and the county or a harmed party suffers a loss, they can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. Let it lapse and your plumbing registration can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $5,000 filing continuous.
