The Marion County Board of Health requires a solid waste hauler to file a $10,000 bond as a condition of being licensed to collect and haul solid waste in the county. Ours is $300 flat — 3% of the bond amount — and the application is five minutes.
















Municipal license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Small fixed-amount municipal bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with the Marion County Board of Health for your solid waste hauler license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$10,000 bond × 3% = $300, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The Marion County Board of Health (Marion Public Health) licenses solid waste haulers — the operators who collect and transport residential and commercial waste in the county — and conditions that license on a $10,000 surety bond. Because waste hauling touches public health and the environment, the bond is a public-health and compliance guarantee: it stands behind you hauling and disposing of waste lawfully and to the Board's rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Marion County Board of Health (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a licensed hauler dumps illegally, fails to dispose of waste properly, or violates the Board's solid waste rules, the Board or a harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Haulers who dispose at licensed facilities and follow the Board's rules treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep your $10,000 filing continuous with renewal notices 60 and 30 days out.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
