About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A household sewage treatment system service provider bond is a workmanship and compliance guarantee. When you install, alter, or service septic and other on-lot sewage systems in Marion County, the Board of Health wants a financial backstop that you'll do the work to code and correct defects.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Marion County Board of Health (the obligee). If you abandon a job, install out of compliance with the sewage rules, or leave a property owner with a defective system, a valid claim can be made against the bond.

The bond must stay active for the life of your registration. Let it lapse and the Board of Health can suspend your service-provider registration — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.

Marion County Board of Health — HSTS service-provider registrationThe Marion County Board of Health requires household sewage treatment system service providers to register with the district and post a $10,000 surety bond as a condition of that registration. Ohio's HSTS program operates under Ohio Revised Code Chapter 3718 and Ohio Administrative Code rule 3701-29-03, which direct service providers, installers, and septage haulers to register with each local health district where they work; the bond amount and registration terms are set by the Marion County Board of Health.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Marion County HSTS service provider bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every provider. The $10,000 is set by the Marion County Board of Health, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
Small fixed-amount bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many providers finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount health-district bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you hold the registration. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your registration never lapses over a missed email.
