About this bond

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.
