The City of Maumee requires a sewer tapper to file a $7,500 bond as a condition of being licensed to connect into the city's public sewer system. At 3% the math lands below our floor, so the price is the $275 minimum — 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 City of Maumee for your sewer tapper license. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$7,500 bond × 3% = $225, which is below our $275 floor, so you pay $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
The City of Maumee licenses sewer tappers — the contractors who cut into and connect to the city's public sanitary and storm sewers — and conditions that license on a $7,500 surety bond. The bond is a public-infrastructure guarantee: it stands behind your taps, connections, and street/right-of-way restorations being done to the city's standards.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the City of Maumee (the obligee), with the public as the protected party. If a licensed tapper damages the public sewer, leaves a defective connection, or fails to restore the right-of-way, the city can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Tappers who follow the city's sewer specifications and restore their cuts treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep your $7,500 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.
